Nvidia has announced partnerships with major global investment firms and financial institutions, including Apollo, Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, Brookfield, and KKR, to establish independent financing platforms to mobilize more than $500 billion in third-party capital over time. The funding will support the expansion and development of AI infrastructure as demand for artificial intelligence continues to grow worldwide.
With this new development, Nvidia and the AI industry have moved from an era in which companies bought chips and built data centers project by project to one in which AI factories can be financed as productive infrastructure. Now, AI is moving from research into production, thereby creating real value, and the infrastructure behind it is becoming one of the world’s most productive assets.
“NVIDIA compute is not just a chip.” The founder and CEO of NVIDIA, Jensen Huang, stated, “It is a complete AI factory platform including accelerated computing, networking, systems software, AI frameworks and a global developer ecosystem.”

“Many great AI companies, enterprises, and AI clouds have demand for compute but do not yet have access to financing at the scale or cost required to build quickly. That is why we are partnering with the world’s leading long-term capital providers.” Jensen Huang further stated that “the AI Factory is globally adoptable in its architecture and can be used across every major enterprise around the world. When needs change, the factory can be used by another customer, another cloud, or another operator.”
Nvidia and its partners maintained that AI factories would be made more accessible to the companies, industries, and nations building the future. They emphasized, “The age of AI is here. Together, we will build the infrastructure to power it.
