Samsung-backed AI chip firm Rebellions targets IPO in South Korea next year, CEO tells CNBC

Sunghyun Park, CEO of Rebellions, told CNBC that the company is leaning toward a listing on the KOSPI over the KOSDAQ.
Amidst the global AI boom, South Korean companies are aggressively pursuing domestic semiconductor capabilities and capital access, leading to an IPO push by prominent AI chip firms.
This indicates growing national efforts towards AI self-sufficiency and the expansion of the AI chip market beyond established players, with South Korea attempting to secure a leading position.
A new domestic AI chip entity is seeking significant capital, potentially creating a formidable competitor in the specialized AI hardware sector and bolstering South Korea's tech independence.
