NVIDIA and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have launched a landmark collaboration to establish cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence factories and accelerate the nation´s role as a leader in next-generation digital infrastructure. Announced during a high-profile state visit involving U.S. President Donald Trump and His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, NVIDIA´s founder and CEO Jensen Huang emphasized that Artificial Intelligence is essential infrastructure for modern nations. This partnership underlines Saudi Arabia´s resolve to place itself among the world’s most influential Artificial Intelligence and technology powers by creating sovereign capabilities and expertise within its borders.
Central to this initiative is the involvement of HUMAIN, a Saudi tech company partnering with NVIDIA to construct robust Artificial Intelligence infrastructure for both commercial and societal benefit. Tareq Amin, CEO of HUMAIN, described the collaboration as a bold launchpad for fostering a new community equipped with the knowledge and resources to thrive in an Artificial Intelligence-powered future. The alliance seeks not only to introduce advanced technologies like enterprise computing, digital twins, and robotics, but also to cultivate skilled local talent and develop the digital foundations needed for a thriving technological ecosystem.
The move is in line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 strategy, which targets economic diversification and technological leadership to reduce dependence on oil. By investing in Artificial Intelligence, cloud computing, and related fields, the Kingdom aims to unlock new opportunities, attract global tech leaders, and serve as a hub for innovation in the Middle East. NVIDIA´s expertise in Artificial Intelligence hardware and platforms will be pivotal in establishing scalable, sovereign Artificial Intelligence infrastructure capable of supporting national ambitions and inspiring a broader shift toward advanced technologies in the region.
