NVIDIA is planning to establish a new, large-scale campus in northern Israel, which could become its biggest development hub outside the United States, further cementing Israel's position as a global tech leader.

The new campus will be situated near NVIDIA's existing Yokneam facilities, on a 29-acre site designated for high-tech use, with excellent transportation links and readiness for immediate construction.

This ambitious project involves acquiring land capable of supporting at least 3,000 employees, with development expected to span several years.

NVIDIA, a leader in advanced GPU production like the H100 and A100 chips vital for AI development, continues to be a major player in the global AI race amid ongoing geopolitical tensions involving the US and China.

Israel has played a strategic role in NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure, exemplified by the development of the Israel-1 supercomputer in 2023, which ranks among the world's best.

This expansion follows NVIDIA’s 2019 acquisition of Israeli-based Mellanox, a move that significantly boosted its AI capabilities and innovation capacity.

Investing in Israel not only strengthens US-Israel technological ties but also diversifies NVIDIA’s development base in a politically friendly region, especially amid complex US-China trade restrictions.

Overall, NVIDIA's investment highlights Israel’s rising prominence as a global tech hub and underscores the company's strategic focus on AI and advanced computing.
