Nvidia to invest $2B in European AI startups, Blackwell rollouts
Nvidia will announce $2 billion in European AI investments this week, including deals with 14 startups and rollouts of its next-generation hardware, according to Crypto Briefing. The move follows a period of heightened activity in the AI sector, including its August deal with Hugging Face and ongoing discussions with Reflection AI.
This round appears to emphasize direct funding and hardware deployment in Europe, contrasting with earlier strategies. The company recently released its Open Agent Safety Platform, which may align with these investments by addressing broader industry concerns.
The hardware rollouts could target cloud providers and enterprise AI labs, potentially locking in long-term customers. For startups, the funding might offer an alternative to traditional venture capital, though terms remain undisclosed. Observers will watch whether Nvidia uses these deals to secure exclusivity or equity stakes, as it has in past transactions.
