Overview
- Samsung Electronics is providing $500 million and five other Samsung affiliates are supplying the remaining $500 million to Helix, making the group a $1 billion investor in the AI-focused data-center platform.
- The deal ties Samsung’s manufacturing and services units to Helix projects so the group can supply high-bandwidth memory, solid-state drives, cooling systems, construction and IT services for new hyperscale facilities.
- Helix launched in June with more than $10 billion in committed capital from investors including KKR, the Kuwait Investment Authority, NVIDIA and Vistra and focuses on integrated builds that address power delivery and capacity limits.
- Helix is led by CEO Adam Selipsky and CIO Waldemar Szlezak and positions itself to speed up large-scale data-center rollouts that host generative-AI models and other high-density compute workloads.
- The investment shows a wider industry trend of chipmakers and conglomerates forming financial and operational partnerships to secure supply chains and win multiple revenue streams from the AI infrastructure buildout.
