Samsung committed an additional $1 billion to Helix Digital Infrastructure, as part of a broader $10+ billion capital strategy supporting global AI data center buildout.
Samsung has committed $1 billion to Helix Digital Infrastructure, an AI infrastructure company formed by KKR to address the growing infrastructure needs of hyperscalers. The investment will provide long-duration capital to support Helix's strategy of investing in and delivering data centers, power, connectivity, and related infrastructure for AI demand.
Samsung's commitment builds on the more than $10 billion of capital already committed to Helix at its launch by founding investors including KKR, the Kuwait Investment Authority, NVIDIA, and Vistra.
"Samsung's commitment is a strong vote of confidence in Helix's strategy and further deepens the long-term capital base we've built to meet the scale of AI infrastructure demand," said Adam Selipsky, CEO and Co-Founder of Helix. "As one of the world's leading technology companies, Samsung brings unique capabilities that we expect will benefit Helix and its customers, and we look forward to working together to accelerate the deployment of next-generation digital infrastructure for hyperscalers around the world."
Alongside NVIDIA's expertise in full-stack technology and AI infrastructure and Vistra's role in power, Helix expects to explore opportunities leveraging Samsung's capabilities across advanced technology, construction, energy storage, and cooling to support the development and delivery of AI infrastructure at scale.
AI is driving a generational infrastructure buildout, creating unprecedented demand from hyperscalers for partners capable of solving increasingly complex infrastructure needs at scale and speed. Helix was created to address this challenge through an integrated approach combining long-duration capital, deep infrastructure expertise, and capabilities across the critical components required to support AI growth. The company will invest in, deliver, and manage AI-enabling infrastructure in North America and worldwide.
Globally, KKR has invested over $75 billion across digital infrastructure and power. The firm has maintained a presence in Korea since 2009, building deep local relationships and market understanding across infrastructure, private equity, real estate, and credit, with approximately $9 billion invested across its strategies in Korea. This long-term presence underpins KKR's commitment to supporting leading Korean companies' growth and objectives.
Helix Digital Infrastructure, founded with anchor investors including KKR, the Kuwait Investment Authority, NVIDIA, and Vistra, focuses on investing in, delivering, and managing next-generation AI-enabling infrastructure. Supported by KKR's leading global infrastructure platform, Helix delivers integrated solutions across hyperscale data centers, power generation and transmission, fiber, connectivity, and related infrastructure.
