NVIDIA Collaborates on AI Factory Projects in Saudi Arabia

NVIDIA Partners with Saudi Arabia to Build AI Factories

NVIDIA has announced a partnership with HUMAIN, the AI company owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, to build AI factories in the country.

The goal of this partnership is to help Saudi Arabia become a global leader in AI. Together, they plan to build large-scale AI data centers that will support the creation and training of advanced AI models. These centers will help industries in Saudi Arabia and around the world grow faster and become more digital.

According to HUMAIN, this project will develop up to 500 megawatts of power over the next five years, using hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA’s most advanced GPUs. In the first phase, they will set up a powerful AI supercomputer with 18,000 NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell chips and NVIDIA’s InfiniBand networking system.

HUMAIN also plans to use NVIDIA’s Omniverse platform, which will help run simulations and manage robots and machines in real-world environments. This will help industries like manufacturing, logistics, and energy build digital versions of their operations, making them more efficient, safe, and eco-friendly under the Industry 4.0 movement.

NVIDIA and HUMAIN to Train Saudis and Build AI Future Together

As part of their partnership, NVIDIA and HUMAIN will also work together on training and education programs. These programs will help Saudi citizens and developers learn skills in advanced AI, robotics, simulation, and digital twin technologies. HUMAIN says this will help create a strong AI ecosystem in the country and support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals of economic growth and becoming a digital leader.

“AI is now as important as electricity and the internet for every country,” said NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. “With HUMAIN, we’re building powerful AI systems to help the people and businesses of Saudi Arabia achieve their big vision.”

Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Communications and IT, Eng. Abdullah Alswaha, thanked NVIDIA for its partnership. He said this marks a major step forward in building the AI factories of the future and launching a new industrial era based on smart technology, skilled talent, and global ambition. It shows that Saudi Arabia is serious about being a global leader in AI.

Tareq Amin, CEO of HUMAIN, said this partnership is a bold move toward making the Kingdom a leader in AI and digital infrastructure. He added that they are building both the technology and the people needed to shape a smarter future.
