Nvidia has invested in Korean interconnect startup Point2 and says it plans additional investments in Motif Technologies, RLWRLD and Upstage. The announcement followed a forum co-hosted with Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT, where Nvidia met more than 20 startups working across models, robotics, infrastructure and semiconductors.
Point2 develops radio-frequency links that move data between chips and racks in large AI clusters. The company presents the technology as an alternative to conventional copper and optical connections when systems must scale across more accelerators.
The other planned investments cover different parts of the AI stack. Motif Technologies develops foundation models for agents and has released its Motif-3 language model with open weights. RLWRLD builds robotics foundation models for tasks requiring five-finger dexterity, including component insertion and parts handling. Upstage develops the Solar language-model family and tools for extracting information from complex documents.
Nvidia did not disclose the size or timing of the investments in its announcement. It also highlighted its broader Inception program, which has more than 1,000 Korea-based startup members and provides technical support, preferred pricing and investor introductions. The deal therefore signals areas Nvidia wants to cultivate, but does not establish how much capital each company will receive.
