Samsung Electronics moved the operational start of its first Yongin semiconductor plant to 2029. The new timeline accelerates the original schedule by one to two years.
Surging global demand for advanced AI chips drove the strategic shift. South Korea’s government is fast-tracking the Yongin National Industrial Complex to support the hub.
The project establishes a next-generation manufacturing center for the company. This adjustment strengthens Samsung’s position in the global race for AI infrastructure capacity.
