Helix Digital Infrastructure and KKR announced that Samsung has committed $1 billion to Helix, an AI infrastructure company formed by KKR to help meet the growing infrastructure needs of hyperscalers, through its long-duration capital fund.
Samsung’s investment builds on the more than $10 billion of capital committed to the Helix strategy at its launch by founding investors including KKR, the Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA), NVIDIA and Vistra. The new commitment will provide additional long-duration capital to support Helix’s strategy of investing in and delivering the data centers, power, connectivity and related infrastructure required to support growing AI demand.
“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, 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 to leverage Samsung’s capabilities across areas such as 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 that can help solve increasingly complex infrastructure needs at scale and speed. Helix was created in response to this challenge through an integrated approach that brings together long-duration capital, deep infrastructure expertise and capabilities across the critical components required to support AI growth. Helix will seek to invest in, deliver and manage AI-enabling infrastructure both in North America and worldwide.
Globally, KKR has invested over $75 billion across digital infrastructure and power. The firm has been present in Korea since 2009, building deep local relationships and market understanding across infrastructure, private equity, real estate and credit. KKR has invested approximately $9 billion across its strategies in Korea. This long-term presence underpins KKR's commitment to building trust to support leading Korean companies' growth and objectives.
