LG Uplus is developing a standard model for prefabricated modular data centres to standardise the design, construction and operation of AI data centres and meet rising AI infrastructure demand. The company said it signed an agreement with GS Engineering & Construction, Xi C&A, Gansam Architects and D&O CM to build a PMDC alliance. The partners have jointly developed standard models since April, including new-build and retrofit options.

Industrial data AI startup Searchdog said on Sunday it was selected as a member of Nvidia\'s startup support programme, Nvidia Inception. The company develops technology to analyse large-scale documents and drawings that are difficult for large language models to process, targeting the engineering, procurement and construction industry. It said it supplies related services to South Korean builders including Samsung C&T and has raised seed funding and additional financing this year.
