SK hynix has formally introduced SK hynix Ventures, a corporate venture capital brand announced on September 18, 2026 at its first Silicon Valley event. The South Korean memory maker said the unit is intended to deepen strategic partnerships across the global AI ecosystem and secure access to innovative technologies.

The launch signals SK hynix's growing focus on AI-related investment as memory manufacturers look to position themselves closer to the AI supply chain. By creating a dedicated CVC arm, the company can more systematically back startups and technologies that align with its memory and AI strategy.
