<news1><![CDATA[Six Samsung affiliates, including Samsung Electronics, will invest a combined $1 billion in U.S.-based AI infrastructure company Helix Digital Infrastructure, expanding the group’s participation in the AI data center ecosystem.

Samsung Electronics, Samsung C&T, Samsung SDS, Samsung SDI, Samsung Life Insurance, and Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance announced on the 29th that they will participate as founding investors in Helix.

Samsung Electronics will invest $500 million, while the other five affiliates will contribute a combined $500 million.

Founded by global investment firm KKR, Helix provides integrated AI infrastructure solutions spanning hyperscale data center development and operations, power generation, transmission and distribution, and fiber-optic networks. The company is led by former Amazon Web Services CEO Adam Selipsky.

Other investors in Helix include KKR, Nvidia, U.S. power company Vistra, and the Kuwait Investment Authority. A key focus of the venture is to build not only data centers but also the power supply infrastructure that has emerged as one of the biggest bottlenecks in the expansion of AI infrastructure.

Samsung plans to use the investment as an opportunity to expand its competitiveness beyond component supply into systems and infrastructure. The group aims to connect the capabilities of its affiliates—including semiconductors, cooling, construction, IT services, batteries, and financial services—into a unified AI infrastructure ecosystem.]]></news1>
