Samsung Electronics is a leading company in the semiconductor industry, and SEDEX is Korea's largest semiconductor exhibition hosted by the Korea Semiconductor Industry Association.
Samsung Electronics will participate in the '28th Semiconductor Expo' (SEDEX 2026) held at COEX, Seoul from the 14th to the 16th and showcase next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor technology and solutions.
About 300 companies from across the semiconductor industry, including memory, system semiconductors, materials, components, and equipment, will participate in this exhibition, hosted by the Korea Semiconductor Industry Association.
Samsung Electronics prepared six exhibition spaces under the theme of 'AI system design', including next-generation technology, cloud AI, edge AI, physical AI, semiconductor cluster, and win-win cooperation.
In particular, we will introduce semiconductor technology capabilities encompassing memory, foundry (semiconductor consignment production), system LSI, and advanced packaging.
In the memory field, HBM4E (7th generation), the next-generation high-bandwidth memory (HBM), and LPDDR-PIM, which integrates calculation functions inside the memory, will be exhibited. In addition, models of 'zHBM', a three-dimensional (3D) memory technology that reduces the physical distance between computing devices and memory, and 'zNAND-O', a 3D NAND solution optimized for edge AI, will also be unveiled.
The foundry will showcase the 4-nano process-based HBM4E base die and advanced packaging technologies such as '2.3D Cube-E', '3D Cube-H', and 2-nano Gate All Around (GAA) wafers.
System LSI will exhibit 'DIMM Solution', which integrates the core chips required for server memory modules, 'Isocell HPC', a 200 million pixel image sensor, and 'Exynos 2600', a mobile processor.
Samsung Electronics will also introduce its major production and development bases and plans to create the Yongin National Industrial Complex in the semiconductor cluster zone newly established this year. Samsung Electronics plans to invest approximately 360 trillion won in the Yongin National Industrial Complex, and aims to begin site development and construction in 2027 and operate its first production line in October 2029.
About 70 materials, parts, equipment, and fabless companies will move into the industrial complex, creating a semiconductor ecosystem that links manufacturing, research and development, and partners.
In addition, the win-win cooperation zone introduces funding, technology, human resources, and education support programs for partner companies and the achievements of shared growth. Samsung Electronics received the highest grade in the '2025 Mutual Growth Index Evaluation' of the Korean Council for Corporate Partnership, recording the highest grade for 14 consecutive years.

As cyber attacks abusing AI technology increased in Japan, about 3.136 million email addresses and 100,000 phone numbers were leaked due to a hacking of the servers of IT companies in Osaka, and several local governments, including Tachikawa City, Tomiya City, Shiso City, Okayama City, and Oita Prefecture, stopped sending disaster prevention service emails. In Oita Prefecture, it was raised that personal information of public officials may have been leaked, and access to the Kodaira City website has continued to be disrupted for several days due to a cyber attack.

Naver Pay announced that it will introduce NFT-based digital tickets to the opening and closing ceremonies of the 107th National Sports Festival held in Jeju, and will pay 10,000 won, Jeju's local currency, 'Tamnajeon' upon verification of attendance. At about 70 stadiums in Jeju Island, viewing records will be issued as NFTs, and 24 public tourist attractions, including Seongsan Ilchulbong, will offer reduced admission fees or a 50% discount.

LG Electronics will launch seven types of smart home IoT devices, including AI cameras and thermostats, jointly developed with Apple, in the US, Canada, and the UK within the year. The product is linked to both LG ThinQ and Apple ecosystems, and is also equipped with privacy security functions.

Jeju Island held 'Tech Plus Jeju 2026' at the Jeju Halla Convention Center on the 13th and announced a strategy to promote 'Jeju AI Basic Society' to leap forward as an AI innovation demonstration city.

As three Yandex data centers in Russia were shut down due to drone attacks in Ukraine, digital service apps such as taxi calling and food ordering in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan are not functioning properly. Yandex said there were no injuries, but it is unclear when the equipment will be restored, and the incident is believed to have revealed the high dependence of Central Asia's digital economy on Russia.

The National Park Service announced that it has developed an AI model called 'Halfmoon Lens AI' that automatically identifies wild animals captured by unmanned cameras. Compared to the existing human analysis, the analysis time of 100,000 images, which took 208 days, was reduced to 8 hours, and 17 types of animals, including black bears, are identified. We plan to make it public on GitHub and Hugging Face for use by domestic and international research institutes.
