As part of an effort to overcome data sovereignty issues, UiPath has recently introduced UiPath Automation Cloud™ on Microsoft Azure cloud in South Korea. The regional offering gives South Korean business customers region-specific data residency along with faster deployment within weeks compared to months, lower latency, and without comprising on enterprise-level orchestration capabilities. The collaboration aligns with a notable shift toward AI agent implementation in the region, as a recent IDC InfoBrief indicated that roughly 24% of South Korean organizations have already deployed agentic AI, with an additional 67% planning adoption over the next 12 months. Centralizing workflows, AI agents, process orchestration, and robots into a unified SaaS environment, the local infrastructure supports highly regulated sectors like banking and the public sector by empowering business users and developers to construct end-to-end automations entirely within the cloud.

Commenting on the milestone, Won-Joon Hyoung, Country Manager, Korea, UiPath stated, “Our collaboration with Microsoft marks a pivotal shift for South Korean enterprises, particularly those in highly regulated industries like banking and the public sector. By launching Automation Cloud locally, we are removing the sovereignty barriers that once confined innovation to on-premises environments. This provides the local infrastructure needed to deploy AI agents at scale and move from concept to production in days rather than months.” Concurrently, Willy Cho, CEO of Microsoft Korea, noted that the collaboration provides “a trusted, locally compliant foundation that meets domestic regulatory and compliance requirements, enabling organizations including those in highly regulated industries such as finance and the public sector to confidently scale agentic automation.” This regional expansion follows recent cloud rollouts in Switzerland and the UAE, further strengthening UiPath’s global footprint by integrating its specialized agentic AI stack with tools like Microsoft Foundry to provide neutral, secure, and highly scalable enterprise AI orchestration.
