Samsung Ventures' Stance on AI, Semiconductors, and Robotics.

 

Abstract:

Samsung Ventures, one of the world's most active corporate VCs, shares its view on the latest trends and its investment approach across AI, semiconductors, and other deep-tech domains. The session explores the strategic role of corporate venture capital in engaging with innovative startups — and in turning cyclical hype into lasting innovation. The speaker, Jaeyoung, serves as Head of Asia at Samsung Ventures, where he has covered Greater China for more than 15 years, and recent few years, also covering Japan, and India. Drawing on an extensive network across the region, he will offer a practical, on-the-ground perspective on where deep-tech opportunities are emerging in Asia and how Samsung Ventures partners with founders beyond capital.
