SK Hynix will invest KRW9.4 trillion ($6.8 billion) to construct the first fabrication plant in the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster after its board recently approved the project. The fabrication plant will be the first manufacturing site located in the cluster.
The company stated that the construction will start in March 2025 with a target of May 2027 to complete the project. SK Hynix supplies Nvidia with high-bandwidth memory chips and stated the facility would lay the foundation for its future growth. It is expanding production capacity in response to the rapidly increasing demand for AI memory semiconductors.
VP and head of manufacturing technology at SK Hynix Kim Young-sik said the company wants to contribute to revitalizing the national economy by completing the large-scale industrial complex. He said the new cluster will enhance South Korea’s semiconductor technology and ecosystem competitiveness. In January, SK Hynix announced plans to invest a total of KRW122 trillion across four fabrication sites in Yongin.

Automated systems and bots now generate more than half of internet traffic, forcing hosting companies to manage performance, security, and infrastructure costs at the same time. Ivan Čačija argues that business users are no longer buying only storage and computing resources, but the availability and performance of their own operations. AI will reshape both data-centre management and infrastructure requirements, while regional providers can compete through local presence, predictable costs and hybrid models. Fastserver sees its partnership with Blackwall as part of a broader shift towards an integrated platform combining infrastructure, security, traffic protection and automation.
