South Korea’s Naver has a mission to double its exports in AI and cloud computing within the next three years.
Unlike its competitors in the U.S. and China, Naver stands out as a powerhouse in South Korea’s tech landscape and is positioned to serve markets that major tech giants can’t reach.
At the core of Naver’s strategy is a deep understanding of various regulations and business environments.
Naver Cloud CEO Kim Yu-won highlights the company’s edge in differentiating Naver in the competitive technology field by providing technology that closely matches the diverse needs of its international customers.
CEO Kim Yu-won said this.
“The United States and China have technological hegemony… They set the standards. “This often means that their technology is not suited to the context of surrounding countries – regulations, users, businesses, etc. – and this gives Korean companies a competitive advantage.”
Naver’s AI ambitions
Naver’s global ambitions are taking shape with a $100 million contract to develop digital twin mapping services for Saudi Arabian municipalities and the Ministry of Rural Affairs.
This plan highlights Naver’s growing influence on the international stage.
Actively seeking opportunities in the UAE, Philippines and Singapore, Naver aims to become a major player in various regions.
These efforts are in line with the global trend to develop an independent AI ecosystem, and Naver is positioning itself as an ideal partner through a variety of services.
The recent opening of Korea’s largest data center, boasting a capacity of 600,000 servers, highlights Naver’s commitment to expand its capabilities to meet growing global demand.
Comprehensive technology solution
Naver’s strategy encompasses a diverse portfolio that goes beyond cloud computing and AI to include advances in robotics.
This holistic approach directly responds to the market need for technology that integrates seamlessly with existing systems.
Yuwon Kim emphasizes that Naver’s products have overcome compatibility issues associated with non-standard American technology.
“There is concern that when you do not select the US ‘global standard’ service, the service you purchase may not be compatible with the following technologies. This is not the case with Naver.”
These guarantees of seamless integration and reliability mark Naver as a trustworthy partner in the dynamic technology sector.
Naver’s aggressive strategy to double its AI and cloud service export capabilities means more than simple business growth.
This represents a strategic shift that positions Korea as a strong player in the global AI and cloud computing sectors.
Naver aims to export technology and present a vision for a more diverse and adaptable global technology ecosystem.
