According to a report by “Korea Economic Daily”, Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-Yong will go to the United States for 3 weeks in May to meet with CEOs of several technology giants and plan future business.
According to reports, Li Zairong is finalizing a business trip to Silicon Valley in the United States to meet with Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google CEO Sundar Pichai. The trip will last until the middle of next month. The analysis is to envision Samsung’s future business and strengthen cooperation between companies through exchanges with leaders in the information and communication technology (ICT) industry.
Industry insiders said that Lee Jae-Yong will leave for the United States as early as this weekend to accompany the president on a state visit to the United States. It is said that Lee Jae-yong’s business trip to the United States will be postponed to the second week of May (10-16). Since Lee Jae-yong’s next trial will be held on May 26, there is no obstacle for him to travel to the United States this time.
The United States is Samsung Electronics’ largest market, and its local subsidiary’s sales last year reached 86 trillion won (currently about 447.2 billion CNY). In semiconductors and batteries, Samsung has multiple investment projects underway, so Lee Jae-Yong has many unanswered questions to deal with.
Lee Jae-Yong will be on a tour of the Mideastern United States in the first week of May, starting with visits to Verizon and other U.S. telecom companies.
Lee Jae-Yong may also visit the headquarters of a biological company in the eastern United States. Moderna, based in Massachusetts, is known for its close relationship with Samsung.
After that, Lee Jae-Yong will go to the western part of the United States to visit technology giants such as Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Tesla.
Lee is finalizing a schedule for meetings with Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google CEO Sundar Pichai, both of which are close collaborators of Samsung.
In addition, Lee Jae-Yong is expected to meet Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Amazon CEO Andy Jassy. Microsoft and Amazon, two of the world’s top three cloud companies, are major customers of Samsung Electronics’ memory division.
