- Saudi -Arabia is working with NVIDIA to build massive AI -Infrastructure in 2030
- New AI -Datacentre will insert hundreds of thousands of GB300 -chips
- Humain and Nvidia plan National AI training and simulation skills programs
Nvidia has signed a strategic agreement with Humain, a new AI-focused subsidiary of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, as part of an ambitious plan to establish the Kingdom as a global leader in artificial intelligence in 2030.
The partnership includes large-scale infrastructure development, workforce training and a massive hardware rollout with hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA’s latest GB300 chips.
Humain plans to insert up to 500 megawatt AI computer capacity, starting with 18,000 GB300 Grace Blackwell Superchips powered by Nvidia’s Infiniband network. These chips will be used in hyperscale -data centers throughout Saudi -Arabia, designed to train and drive superb AI models on scale.
Wider digital transformation targets
The move is intended to support the country’s wider digital transformation targets and economic diversification outlined in Vision 2030.
The partnership also includes the adoption of Nvidia’s Omniverse platform. According to Humain, this will enable the development of physical AI and robotic applications across industries such as manufacture, logistics and energy.
By using digital twins and simulation tools, companies in the Kingdom will be able to optimize physical environments for greater efficiency, security and sustainability.
Workforce development is a key component of the collaboration. Humain and Nvidia are planning to re -school thousands of Saudi citizens and developers in areas such as robotics, simulation and digital twin technologies.
“AI, like electricity and the Internet, is important infrastructure for any nation,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia. “Together with Humain we build AI infrastructure for people and companies in Saudi -Arabia to realize the Kingdom.”
His Excellence Eng. Abdullah Alswaha, Minister of Communication and Information Technology, added: “This lays the basis for a new industrial revolution, rooted in advanced infrastructure, talent and global ambition. This is how Saudi -Arabia continues to lead as a partner choosing in the form of AI’s future.”
Our partnership with Nvidia is a bold step forward to realizing the kingdom’s ambitions to lead in AI and advanced digital infrastructure, ”said Tareq Amin, CEO of Humain.” Together we build capacity, capacity and a new globally activated society to shape a future driven by intelligent technology and empowered people. “
