NVIDIA and Saudi Arabia Launch Strategic Partnership to Establish AI Centers
Partnership aims to accelerate digital transformation in various industries across Saudi Arabia and the world
A strategic partnership has been announced between NVIDIA and HUMAIN, the investment arm of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.
The collaboration will involve the establishment of massive AI centers powered by hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA's advanced GPU chips.
This move is expected to enable industries in Saudi Arabia and worldwide to accelerate digital transformation.
As part of the agreement, HUMAIN will invest significantly over the next five years in building AI factories driven by NVIDIA's cutting-edge technology.
The partnership aims to make Saudi Arabia a global leader in artificial intelligence, GPU-based cloud computing, digital twins, and robotics.
The deal provides Saudi Arabia with access to advanced chips and ensures a revenue stream for NVIDIA.
The first phase of the rollout will include an AI supercomputer, similar to Israel's, featuring NVIDIA's GB300 Grace Blackwell model with an NVIDIA InfiniBand networking system comprising 18,000 units.
The data centers will offer secure foundational infrastructure for training and deploying large-scale artificial intelligence models, enabling industries in Saudi Arabia and globally to accelerate digital transformation.
