Nvidia pledges nearly $10 billion to boost AI and robotics in Europe
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced at the GTC conference in Berlin that the company will invest almost $10 billion in Europe’s technology ecosystem. The pledge accompanies new partnerships with firms such as Siemens, Volvo, Volkswagen and Agile Robots, and the launch of the DSX Pod mini‑data‑center that can be deployed in as little as two weeks. Huang also highlighted a 30% rise in physical‑AI revenue to about $11 billion in the first half of 2024.
Why it matters
The investment is intended to accelerate adoption of Nvidia’s AI hardware and software across European industries, potentially expanding the company’s sales base on the continent. The faster‑to‑deploy DSX Pod could lower customers’ time‑to‑value, making Nvidia’s solutions more attractive.
