TerraPower announced the funding on June 18 (local time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This marks HD Hyundai&#8217;s second investment in TerraPower, following a USD 30 million commitment in 2022 through its shipbuilding subsidiary, HD Korea Shipbuilding &amp; Offshore Engineering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the specific investment amounts for the latest round were not disclosed, the participation of NVentures, NVIDIA&#8217;s corporate venture arm, highlights growing interest from the tech industry in nuclear power as a potential solution for the increasing energy demands driven by AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HD Hyundai has been a key supporter of TerraPower&#8217;s Natrium reactor project, a fourth-generation sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The industrial conglomerate signed an agreement in 2023 to supply cylindrical reactor vessels and expanded its partnership in May through a strategic pact focused on manufacturing supply chains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HD Hyundai Vice Chairman Chung Kisun attended the signing ceremony alongside Gates, emphasizing the significance of the collaboration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This additional investment aligns with HD Hyundai&#8217;s goal of becoming a comprehensive energy solutions provider in the next-generation nuclear market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For NVIDIA, the investment is a strategic move to help secure a stable power supply for its ambitious AI initiatives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang previously stated to Bloomberg TV that nuclear energy offers &#8220;an excellent sustainable power source&#8221; to meet the rapidly growing demand from data centers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Industry analysts suggest the investment also strengthens ties with Microsoft, a major NVIDIA client and Gates&#8217; former company, as large tech firms increasingly seek solutions for energy constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Advanced nuclear will be foundational in powering the AI-driven industrial transformation,&#8221; commented Mohamed Siddeek, head of NVentures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;TerraPower&#8217;s technology delivers an innovative carbon-free solution to meet global energy needs while minimizing environmental impact.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TerraPower intends to accelerate the deployment of its Natrium technology in the U.S. and internationally, supported by renewed political backing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recent Trump administration executive order aiming to quadruple U.S. nuclear capacity by 2050 and streamline permitting processes provides a favorable environment for the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, TerraPower CEO Chris Levesque confirmed there are no immediate plans for an IPO, preferring continued support from strategic investors like HD Hyundai and NVentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This funding validates our technology as the solution industry needs,&#8221; Levesque stated. UBS exclusively advised on the latest funding round.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Korea&#8217;s HD Hyundai and U.S. chip giant NVIDIA have joined a USD 650 million funding round for<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":5157,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[38,31,54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5155","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-stories","category-build-develop","category-top-section"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>HD Hyundai TerraPower Investment Draws NVIDIA Backing<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"HD Hyundai and NVIDIA invest in TerraPower, supporting next-gen nuclear tech to meet AI-driven energy demand.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/guru.today\/?p=5155\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"HD Hyundai and NVIDIA Invest in Bill Gates&#039;
