Who We Are
At NAVER, our services and technologies are connected through the data and contextual knowledge we’ve accumulated over 27 years. Our hyperscale AI model, developed using this data, serves as a shared technological foundation that brings together NAVER’s services, NAVER Cloud’s AI infrastructure and cloud services, NAVER LABS’ spatial intelligence and robotics, and NAVER Pay’s financial technology. The technology and experience built in each area, in turn, help refine our data and advance our AI, creating a structure that works like one integrated engine.
Building on our foundation in search, we have expanded into advertising, commerce, and fintech, becoming a leading platform in Korea. We have recently applied our On-Service AI strategy across all of our services, blurring the boundaries between online and offline and providing users with more personalized experiences.
As the operator of Korea’s largest Internet Data Center (IDC), we continue to drive the evolution of our technology platform by strengthening our capabilities in cloud services, IT infrastructure, and enterprise solutions, as well as in key future technologies such as AI and robotics. We are also bringing these innovative services and unique content to the world, so that users and partners everywhere can benefit and grow together.
Global Internship
The NAVER Global Internship gives students the chance to apply the perspectives and experience they’ve gained in international settings to real-world projects involving TEAM NAVER’s services and technologies. You’ll propose the problem you want to solve as part of your application, then join a team to work on a project. Your actual project may differ from your proposal and will be finalized before the internship begins, based on your interests and strengths. Throughout your project, you’ll receive personalized guidance from senior colleagues and use the same AI tools TEAM NAVER members use in their everyday work. Alongside your project, you’ll take part in programs that deepen your understanding of NAVER, and you’ll have opportunities to connect with and learn from fellow interns and senior colleagues.
