The company's headquarters in Tel Aviv has also expanded over the past year - from 8 to 18 floors.
The most valuable company on the planet is increasing its strategic presence in Israel. It was announced today that NVIDIA will triple its workforce in Be'er Sheva by establishing an R&D center in a new campus covering 3,000 m². It is located in the Gav-Yam technology park, where dozens of IT industry leaders, including Microsoft, Oracle, Intel, and others, already operate.
At the same time, the company is preparing to build a mega-campus ranging from 80,000 to 180,000 m² in the north of the country. With its commissioning, the number of employees in Israel is expected to double from 5,000 to 10,000.
The company's headquarters in Tel Aviv has also expanded over the past year - from 8 to 18 floors (22,000 m²) in the Rubinstein Twin Towers.
Unlike the veterans of the Israeli ecosystem (it is worth noting that IBM opened its representative office in Israel in 1950, Intel in 1974, and Microsoft in 1989), NVIDIA's history in Israel began quite recently. In 2016, the company launched the Israeli branch of its Inception accelerator, and the first research center was opened in 2018. Just a year later, the company announced the acquisition of Mellanox for $6.9 billion. This deal, according to NVIDIA's long-time CEO Jensen Huang, allowed the company to dominate the AI infrastructure market today.
The war did not become an obstacle for NVIDIA's further expansion in Israel: in November 2023, the company announced the commissioning of the supercomputer Israel-1 (a few months ahead of schedule!), in spring 2024 it spent $1B on the acquisition of Israeli startups Run:ai and Deci, and in January 2025 announced the construction of a new $500M data center near Yokne'am.
But most importantly, there is unconditional public support for Israel from NVIDIA's head, especially during the war. Unlike his colleague from Amazon, who remained silent about the hostage employee Sasha Trufanov, Jensen Huang immediately spoke out about the NVIDIA employee Avinatan Ore and his girlfriend Noa Argamani, who were kidnapped by terrorists.
NVIDIA is an American technology company that develops graphics processors and systems on a chip (SoC). The company's developments are widely used in the video game industry, professional visualization, high-performance computing (including AI), and the automotive industry, where NVIDIA's onboard computers are used as a basis for self-driving cars.
The company was founded in 1993. As of Q4 2018, it was the largest producer of PC-compatible discrete graphics in the world with a share of 81.2% (the statistics include all graphics processors available for direct purchase by end users — GeForce, Quadro, and GPU-based Tesla computing accelerators). In June 2024, NVIDIA became the largest company in the world by market capitalization - $3.34 trillion.
