BlackRock, Microsoft, and MGX Announce the Inclusion of NVIDIA and xAI in the AI Infrastructure Partnership
BlackRock, Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) (a subsidiary of BlackRock), Microsoft, and MGX have announced the inclusion of NVIDIA and xAI in the AI Infrastructure Partnership, previously known as the Global AI Infrastructure Investment Partnership.
This strategic move further solidifies the partnership’s leadership in AI-driven technology and its commitment to expanding investments in next-generation AI infrastructure.
NVIDIA will also continue serving as a technical advisor, leveraging its expertise in accelerated computing to support the deployment of cutting-edge AI infrastructure.
In addition to this expansion, GE Vernova and NextEra Energy have entered into an agreement with the AI Infrastructure Partnership to accelerate the development of advanced energy solutions for AI data centers. GE Vernova will work alongside the partnership to design supply chain strategies and deliver innovative, high-efficiency power solutions.
Since its launch in September 2024, the AI Infrastructure Partnership has gained significant interest from global investors and industry leaders. This strong demand reflects the increasing need for AI-ready data centers and sustainable power solutions.
The partnership’s investments will primarily focus on the United States and allied OECD countries, driving innovation in AI, economic expansion, and the development of critical digital and energy infrastructure.
H.H. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chairman of MGX, stated:
“AI is not just a sector of the future; it is the foundation upon which the future is being built. With new partners joining the AI Infrastructure Partnership, we continue to drive innovation and accelerate technological advancements that will lead to transformative productivity gains in the global economy. Our commitment remains firm in developing AI responsibly and sustainably to serve humanity and drive global progress.”
Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of NVIDIA, said:
“Every company and country will have its own AI factory, or it will rent one to harness AI capabilities. Through our collaboration with the AI Infrastructure Partnership, we are providing our full-stack AI computing platform to power these AI factories—accelerating global innovation and driving large-scale economic growth.”
The AI Infrastructure Partnership strengthens Abu Dhabi’s commitment to developing the digital media and technology sector, expanding opportunities for AI-driven content creators, and positioning the region as a global leader in AI infrastructure and innovation.
