Nvidia plans to invest a total of $1 billion over the next five years to support scientific research and quantum computing in the United States. The investment aims to enhance research capabilities in areas critical to U.S. competitiveness, including quantum computing, healthcare, and energy security.
The announcement was made on October 12 during the "Science: A New Golden Age" summit held in Washington, D.C. The event brought together government officials, industry leaders, and scientists to discuss public-private partnerships aimed at boosting research. Reports indicate that the summit took place on October 8 at the White House, where President Donald Trump awarded the National Medal of Science to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and others.
The investment will be allocated across three main areas: support for higher education research institutions, increased investment in quantum computing, and backing for cloud service providers that support key government initiatives. Nvidia also announced its participation as a collaborator in projects related to quantum computing, fusion, accelerator design, and microelectronics, as part of the newly unveiled second phase of the "Genesis Mission."
Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, praised President Trump's Genesis Mission for ushering in a new golden age for American science. He stated that this investment will enable scientists to utilize cutting-edge superintelligence technologies and accelerate breakthroughs in healthcare, energy, and materials. The initiative aims to link scientific leadership with industrial competitiveness and job creation.
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) celebrated Nvidia's expanded role as a key industry partner in the Genesis Mission during the event. Nvidia proposed to collaborate with the scientific community to leverage computing and superintelligence infrastructure for research.
Nvidia has collaborated with U.S. national laboratories for over 20 years. Last year, it established a partnership with the Department of Energy (DOE) for the Genesis Mission and announced plans to build the largest supercomputer for scientific research at Argonne National Laboratory. The company is also supporting the construction of seven new systems at Argonne and Los Alamos National Laboratory.
