During its investors' forum held in Hong Kong, Samsung said the company is open to finding partners that line up with its strategies.
Samsung has been actively seeking to buy competitive companies, taking over U.S.-based electronics brand Dacor and VIV Labs Inc., a developer of artificial intelligence platforms in 2016.
The company also spent around US$8 billion to buy Harman International Industries this year.
Samsung's push to acquire businesses recently faced hurdles as its de facto head Lee Jae-yong was imprisoned earlier this year amid allegations that he was involved in a corruption scandal which led to the ouster of former President Park Geun-hye, source from the Yonhap.
