Nvidia is doubling its commitment to Israel, announcing a new multi-billion dollar mega campus that could soon make it the country’s largest private employer. The tech giant already runs its biggest R&D center outside the US in Israel, employing around 5,000 people. This move aims to push that number even higher.
Aiming to Surpass Intel
The new expansion sets the stage for Nvidia to potentially surpass Intel, long the dominant private tech employer in Israel. Thousands of additional hires are planned, solidifying Israel’s position as a critical hub for semiconductor and AI development.
Why Israel Matters for Nvidia
Israel plays a key role in Nvidia’s global strategy, offering deep pools of engineering talent and an ecosystem heavily focused on chip design and AI innovation. With this new campus, Nvidia signals it sees long-term value in anchoring more of its future outside Silicon Valley.
