Nvidia Commits $1.5 Billion to Major Israel Campus Expansion, Strengthening Its Global AI Footprint
December 21, 2025 — In a bold declaration of confidence in Israel’s tech ecosystem, Nvidia — the world’s leading designer of AI chips and accelerated computing platforms — has announced plans to invest approximately $1.5 billion in expanding its infrastructure and campus facilities in the country. This commitment underscores both the strategic importance of Israel in Nvidia’s global growth plans and the country’s increasingly central role in the development of artificial intelligence technologies.
A Major Bet on Israel’s Future
The centerpiece of Nvidia’s investment will be the creation of the largest server farm in Israel’s history, located in the Mevo Carmel industrial zone near Yokneam. This cutting-edge data centre is being developed in partnership with local real-estate firm Mega Or DC. While the core building infrastructure costs around NIS 1.5 billion (roughly $465 million), when fully equipped with Nvidia’s most advanced computing hardware, the total value of the project reaches about $1.5 billion.
The facility — spanning roughly 30,000 m² and drawing about 64 megawatts of power — will house next-generation supercomputing technologies based on Nvidia’s newest Blackwell processors. It is expected not only to support large-scale AI research and development but also serve as an internal testing ground for future products, pushing the boundaries of compute performance.
Beyond Data Centres: A New Mega-Campus
In addition to the server farm, Nvidia has confirmed plans for a massive new research and development campus in northern Israel, in the town of Kiryat Tivon near Haifa. Covering around 160,000 m², the campus is envisioned as a “second home” for Nvidia’s teams, capable of employing more than 10,000 engineers and developers. Designed in a spacecraft-inspired style reminiscent of Nvidia’s Silicon Valley headquarters, the site will include collaborative workspaces, green areas, cafés, and other amenities to foster innovation.
Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, highlighted the significance of Israel’s talent pool, saying that the country has become one of the company’s most important global hubs for innovation. The new facilities are expected to strengthen Nvidia’s ability to compete in the rapidly expanding AI market.
Strategic and Economic Impact
Israel is already Nvidia’s second-largest research and development centre outside the United States, with more than 5,000 employees across multiple sites including Yokneam, Tel Aviv and Be’er Sheva. The new investment represents a substantial scaling up of that presence — with thousands of additional jobs and a further deepening of engineering and computing capabilities in the region.
Local officials have welcomed the announcement, noting its potential to drive economic growth, boost high-tech employment, and reinforce Israel’s standing as a global hub for AI and semiconductor innovation. By owning the land for its campus — a departure from the more common practice of leasing — Nvidia is signalling a long-term commitment to its operations in the country.
Tech Ecosystem and Global AI Competition
The investment comes as global demand for AI chips, high-performance computing, and advanced research infrastructure continues to surge. Nvidia’s systems power many of the world’s most sophisticated AI models, and building out its capabilities in Israel aligns with broader industry trends toward distributed, globally diversified innovation networks.
For investors and market watchers, the announcement reinforces Nvidia’s leadership in the AI era and highlights how strategic capital deployment — especially in key talent markets like Israel — can underpin long-term competitive advantage.
