ARM is setting up a chip-design academy in South Korea that'll pump out 1,400 trained semiconductor pros by 2030. The Japanese-owned company inked a deal with South Korea's trade ministry to boost the country's chip and AI game. The school is supposed to help out local fabless chip companies like Silicon Works and AI startups like Rebellions.
South Korea is also planning to launch specialized grad programs for the semiconductor industry. During a separate chat, SoftBank boss Masayoshi Son told South Korean President Lee Jae-myung that the country's main problem for hitting artificial superintelligence is not having enough energy. Son pointed out that global firms are building data centers there, but he thinks the projects are way smaller than they should be.
