During a European tour spanning Paris, London, and Berlin, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced $2 billion in new investments across Europe. The company is also donating $250 million in compute over five years to UK laboratories focusing on AI agent safety and security. Huang additionally disclosed new stakes in several French startups and promoted open-weight models as a tool to help Europe close its AI gap.

French Startup Investments and European Strategy

In Paris, Huang announced the $2 billion in investments scheduled to arrive the following week, following Nvidia's spending of about $8 billion in Europe the previous year. He disclosed new stakes in French startups including Doctolib, Genesis AI, Pigment, and Entalpic. During his remarks, Huang promoted open-weight models to help Europe bridge its artificial intelligence gap while pushing back against calls to slow technological development.

UK Computing Donation for AI Safety Research

The UK component of the tour includes a $250 million donation of compute resources over five years directed toward British labs working on AI agent safety, security, and related areas. Specific recipients include BOLD at Oxford, SOFAIR at University College London, and Imperial College London, with research areas covering open-ended learning, open-source architectures, and robotics safety. UK AI Minister Kanishka Narayan described the commitment as a vote of confidence in the nation's AI research expertise.
