Samsung working with local startups in Silicon Valley towards a brighter future

It's only been four months since Samsung opened up its brand new Semiconductor headquarters in Silicon Valley and the tech company is already eyeing various local startups in search for some talented developers. A recent report from the Korea Herald reveals what Samsung has been up to in recent months and it shows that the South Korean giant has more interest in the region than simple development. If you remember six months ago the Silicon Valley companies took Samsung's side in the Apple lawsuit so to give back to the community, Samsung is offering its partnership to startups with potential. David Eun, President and Head of the Center had a few words to share about Samsung's cooperation with local companies:

As part of Samsung, a start-up will still have freedom and control, while having great access to decision-makers and collaborations with wide distribution and marketing sources. Working with Samsung can be very attractive.

Famous rapper Jay-Z who happens to own Tidal, a small music streaming service, took a visit to Samsung's Silicon Valley building a while back so this further suggests that Samsung's presence in the region is more inclined towards business rather than manufacturing but that's not to say that Samsung isn't working hard in Silicon Valley. They are working on the research and development of their chip business as well as storage systems and the Internet of Things.
