Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is set to visit Israel in the second half of April, around Independence Day, according to Globes. He will be the second major US tech figure to visit the country this spring, following a planned trip by Elon Musk.
Huang is no stranger to Israel. He visited in April 2023 and in 2019 - when he personally led negotiations for the landmark acquisition of Mellanox. A scheduled appearance at a Tel Aviv AI conference in October 2023 was cancelled following the outbreak of the war.
During the visit, Huang will meet with Nvidia's rapidly expanding Israeli workforce, which has now reached nearly 6,000 employees.
The company has been doubling down on its Israeli presence: a new development campus in Kiryat Tivon, expected to house up to 10,000 employees, is set for completion by 2031, with additional office space leased in Yokneam and Tel Aviv.
The visit comes days after Nvidia acquired Israeli AI startup Illumex for $75 million, a move aimed at accelerating enterprise adoption of AI agents.
Israel is clearly becoming a cornerstone of Nvidia's global strategy - and Huang's visit will only reinforce that.
