At the San Francisco AI Summit event, these Big Tech heads will also join chiefs of major South Korean companies, including Samsung Electronics Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong, SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, and Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Euisun Chung, to sign various agreements.

Kim Yong-bum, Chief of Policy at the Presidential Office, stated, "We expect to see many meaningful investments such as strategic alliances and long-term contracts," hinting at the possibility of announcing substantial major deals that go beyond simple memoranda of understanding (MOUs).

President Lee will also meet with the heads of six prominent venture capital firms in Silicon Valley to discuss cooperation in the South Korea-U.S. venture ecosystem.

Following this, President Lee is scheduled to embark on a series of summit diplomacy visits to three countries—Brazil, Chile, and Argentina—where he will discuss strengthening partnerships on critical mineral supply chains.
