Islamabad, May 14, 2025: In a landmark move to cement its place as a global leader in artificial intelligence, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF)-backed tech firm HUMAIN has entered into a strategic alliance with AI giant NVIDIA.
The ambitious collaboration is set to accelerate the Kingdom’s AI transformation, positioning it at the forefront of GPU cloud computing and digital innovation.
Launched under the directive of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, HUMAIN is the Kingdom’s full-stack AI company focused on reshaping the nation’s digital infrastructure.
The partnership with NVIDIA underscores Saudi Arabia’s growing commitment to emerging technologies, reinforcing its Vision 2030 goals of economic diversification and technological leadership.
Massive AI Infrastructure on the Horizon
The plan? Nothing short of groundbreaking. HUMAIN will establish AI factories across Saudi Arabia with a projected capacity of up to 500 megawatts, fueled by hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GPUs over the next five years.
Phase one alone includes the deployment of 18,000 NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell AI chips, integrated with NVIDIA’s cutting-edge InfiniBand networking.
These hyperscale data centers will act as a bedrock for scalable AI development—empowering everything from smart cities to intelligent manufacturing.
A Leap Toward Industry 4.0
Adding another layer of sophistication, HUMAIN will implement the NVIDIA Omniverse platform to create multi-tenant environments for simulating and operating real-world systems using AI.
This leap will enable Saudi industries—particularly in manufacturing, logistics, and energy—to build digital twins, driving up efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability.
Upskilling the Workforce of the Future
But the partnership goes beyond hardware. A key component is massive talent development, as HUMAIN and NVIDIA plan to train thousands of Saudis in AI, robotics, simulation, and digital twin technologies.
This aligns perfectly with the Vision 2030 roadmap that emphasizes empowering local talent and creating a robust digital economy.
