NVIDIA CEO: 'I am 100% committed to Israel'

The CEO of the AI tech giant NVIDIA has emerged as one of the strongest supporters of Israel in the Silicon Valley community. At a time with rising anti-Israel and anti-Jewish sentiments worldwide, CEO Jensen Huang has vocally supported Israel and the 6,000 families employed by the tech corporation.

NVIDIA is one of the largest employers in the Israeli tech sector.

“We have 6,000 families in Israel, and I’m worried about them. Our company continues to operate very well, and people are working very hard, but that doesn’t change the fact that we’re concerned about them. I am 100% committed to Israel, and we are going to be there for a very long time. One hundred percent of our employees there have 100% of our love and support,” Huang said at the company’s GTC 2026 conference last week.

“People have asked me several times, are we still considering being in Israel? Well, we are 100% in Israel. We support 100% of the families there. We are 100% in the Middle East,” Huang said during an interview with the All-In podcast.

He stressed that the ongoing war with Iran has not changed NVIDIA's long-term relationship with Israel and the tech industry.

“I believe there is a reason we went to war, and I believe that at the end of the war, the Middle East will be more stable than ever," Huang said. "If we believed in this region before, there’s no reason we shouldn’t believe in it now. We are invested here for the long term.”

While Israel has become one of the world’s leading tech centers outside of California's Silicon Valley, the NVIDIA head also emphasized the company's commitment to its Iranian workforce.  

“We also have many Iranian employees at NVIDIA whose family members still live in Iran. They are stressed, worried and quite frightened. We think about them and their families all the time.”

Last month, NVIDIA decided to partner with the Israeli company Creation Space and invest $32 million in the Space City campus in Mitzpe Ramon, a remote Israeli town in the Negev Desert with surroundings that allegedly resemble the moon or Mars.

“Our model in ‘Space City’ is simple – identifying space challenges with large budgets and building companies with ‘dual-value’ solutions – those that are already suitable for the terrestrial market while simultaneously being developed for future space missions,” Dr. Roy Naor, CEO and co-founder of Creation Space, stated.

In December 2025, the Israeli business news outlet Calcalist reported NVIDIA's decision to invest $1.5 billion in a large server farm in northern Israel. Construction of the new tech facility is scheduled to begin in 2027, with completion expected in 2031. Once finished, it is set to become NVIDIA’s largest tech facility outside the United States.
