Nvidia is mulling plans to build a new 10,000-capacity campus to accommodate its employees in Israel. The company confirmed previous reports that it has chosen the Israel Land Authority (ILA) area in Kiryat Tivon to build the huge campus where it is expected to accommodate its employees. According to the illustration published by the United States chip company, this building will be a large campus inspired by the design of the company’s new iconic headquarters in Santa Clara. After it is built, the campus will be surrounded by commercial activities and restaurants with investment parks and green spaces. The campus is expected to accommodate a higher number of employees than first estimated, with reports noting that it could be double the number of current employees that Nvidia has in Israel. Nvidia set to build a new campus in Israel According to the report , Nvidia could have at least 15,000 employees in Israel if it does not close its existing offices. If all things go to plan, Nvidia could become the largest private employer in the country, assuming that revenue continues to grow steadily at its current rate. It is expected that Nvidia will invest several billion dollars in the new site over the next few years. The company will purchase 22.5 acres of land, and the campus will cover 160,000 square meters of buildings. The company notes that construction is expected to begin in 2027, and there is a plan for initial occupancy in the location by 2031. “The campus will offer an innovative work environment and advanced services: parks, visitor centers, cafes, and restaurants. Alongside these, it will also include labs and collaborative spaces that will foster collaboration and innovation within Nvidia, and together with startups and partners in the broader ecosystem, supporting Nvidia’s growth in the country,” the announcement read. Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang mentioned that Israel is like a home to some of the most brilliant technologists in the world, noting that the location has become a second home for Nvidia . He mentioned that the new campus will be a place where teams can collaborate, build, and ignite the fire of artificial intelligence. Huang also mentioned that the investment shows a deep and enduring commitment to their family in Israel and their unique contribution to AI. Nvidia to provide employment opportunities The architect of the deal is Amit Krieg, a resident of Kiryat Tivon and the Senior Vice President of Software Engineering at the company . As the site leader, Krieg attended several meetings with the ILA, the Planning Administration, and Israel Electric Corp., and has overseen the whole process from the request for information to the signing of the deal with the authorities involved. In his statement, Krieg highlighted the growth of Nvidia in the country, noting that it was driven by the extraordinary talent and engineering excellence of its teams. He thanked Huang and the company’s leadership for their trust and support for the next phase of growth. He also showered encomiums on the authorities involved in the case, noting that the company looks forward to bringing its vision to life and continuing to build the future of artificial intelligence. According to Globes, Nvidia will pay NIS 90 million for the land and pay about NIS 7.5 million a year in taxes to the local council. The development signifies a boost to the region as thousands of employees are expected to move to the towns and villages in the area. Meanwhile, there have been complaints that the development could put a strain on infrastructure in the area, which includes just one railway station, which is about 5 kilometers from the site.
