A Bold Partnership for Global AI Leadership

In a major step toward building a world-class AI ecosystem, HUMAIN, the AI-focused subsidiary of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), has partnered with NVIDIA, the global leader in AI computing infrastructure.

This landmark collaboration is set to position Saudi Arabia as a global powerhouse in artificial intelligence, GPU cloud computing, and digital transformation.

“AI, like electricity and internet, is essential infrastructure for every nation.”
— Jensen Huang, Founder & CEO of NVIDIA

Building the AI Factories of Tomorrow

At the heart of this partnership is HUMAIN’s ambitious plan to build next-gen AI factories in Saudi Arabia. These hyperscale AI data centers will feature:

  • âś… Up to 500 megawatts of computing power
  • âś… Hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GPUs deployed over 5 years
  • âś… Launch of an 18,000-GPU NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell supercomputer with InfiniBand networking

These AI data centers will serve as the foundation for sovereign AI models, offering industries across the Kingdom and beyond a secure, scalable infrastructure to fuel innovation and digital transformation.

Physical AI Meets Digital Twins

HUMAIN will also integrate NVIDIA Omniverse™, a multi-tenant platform that enables physical AI and robotics through simulation and optimization of real-world environments.

Industries like:

  • Manufacturing
  • Logistics
  • Energy

…will be able to build fully integrated digital twins, leading to:

  • âś… Higher efficiency
  • âś… Improved safety
  • âś… More sustainable operations

This aligns perfectly with Saudi Arabia’s push toward Industry 4.0 and future-ready infrastructure.

Empowering Talent Through AI Upskilling

To support this technological leap, HUMAIN and NVIDIA are rolling out massive training programs for Saudi talent. Thousands of developers, engineers, and professionals will gain hands-on experience in:

  • Advanced AI
  • Robotics
  • Simulation
  • Digital twins

This workforce transformation directly supports the Vision 2030 goals of economic diversification and technological leadership.

“This lays the groundwork for a new industrial revolution, anchored in advanced infrastructure, talent and global ambition.”
— H.E. Eng. Abdullah Alswaha, Minister of Communications & IT

A Future Fueled by AI and Human Synergy

Tareq Amin, CEO of HUMAIN, described the collaboration as a game-changing move:

“We’re building not just capacity, but a global community empowered by intelligent tech and talent.”
