HUMAIN, a full AI value chain company backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, has announced a landmark strategic partnership with NVIDIA, the global leader in AI computing infrastructure, to establish AI factories of the future in Saudi Arabia.
This partnership aims to position Saudi Arabia as a global AI and GPU cloud leader, fueling worldwide innovation and digital transformation.
In the first phase, NVIDIA will deliver 18,000 GB300 Grace Blackwell AI chips — among the most powerful AI processors — alongside NVIDIA InfiniBand networking to power a 500-megawatt AI infrastructure, with plans to scale up to 1.9 gigawatts by 2030.
These hyperscale AI data centers will enable secure training and deployment of sovereign AI models, supporting innovation across various industries in the Kingdom and beyond.
As part of its push into physical AI, HUMAIN will leverage the NVIDIA Omniverse™ platform to simulate and operate digital twins for sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, and energy, accelerating Industry 4.0 transformation.
The partnership also focuses on large-scale upskilling initiatives, providing thousands of Saudi citizens and developers with hands-on training in AI, simulation, robotics, and digital twin technologies, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030’s goals of economic diversification and digital leadership.
