Siemens and NVidia expand partnership

Siemens and NVidia announced an expansion of their strategic partnership to bring artificial intelligence into the real world. Together, the companies aim to develop industrial and physical AI products that will bring AI-driven innovation to every industry and industrial workflow, as well as accelerate each others’ operations.

To support development, NVidia will provide AI infrastructure, simulation libraries, models, frameworks and blueprints, while Siemens will commit hundreds of industrial AI experts and hardware and software.

“Together, we are building the industrial AI operating system, redefining how the physical world is designed, built and run, to scale AI and create real-world impact,” said Roland Busch, president and CEO of Siemens AG. “By combining Nvidia’s leadership in accelerated computing and AI platforms with Siemens’ leading hardware, software, industrial AI and data, we’re empowering customers to develop products faster with the most comprehensive digital twins, adapt production in real time and accelerate technologies from chips to AI factories.”

Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, added: “Generative AI and accelerated computing have ignited a new industrial revolution, transforming digital twins from passive simulations into the active intelligence of the physical world. Our partnership with Siemens fuses the world’s leading industrial software with NVidia’s full-stack AI platform to close the gap between ideas and reality, empowering industries to simulate complex systems in software, and then seamlessly automate and operate them in the physical world.”

Siemens and Nvidia aim to build the world’s first fully AI-driven, adaptive manufacturing sites globally, starting in 2026 with the Siemens Electronics Factory in Erlangen, Germany, as the first blueprint.

Using an “AI brain,” powered by software-defined automation (SDA) and industrial operations software, combined with NVidia Omniverse libraries and Nvidia AI infrastructure, factories can continuously analyze their digital twins, test improvements virtually and turn validated insights into operational changes on the shopfloor.

With the partnership expansion, Siemens will complete GPU acceleration across its entire simulation portfolio and expand support for NVidia CUDA-X libraries and AI physics models, designed to enable customers to run larger, more accurate simulations faster. Building on that foundation, the companies will advance toward generative simulation by using NVidia PhysicsNeMo and open models to provide autonomous digital twins that deliver real-time engineering design and autonomous optimization.

Siemens will integrate NVidia CUDA-X libraries, PhysicsNeMo and GPU acceleration across its EDA portfolio with a focus on verification, layout and process optimization.

The partnership will also add AI-assisted capabilities such as layout guidance, debug support and circuit optimization.

Siemens and NVidia also plan to jointly develop a repeatable blueprint for next-generation AI factories.

This blueprint will be designed to balance the next-generation high-density computing demands for power, cooling and automation while ensuring technologies are well positioned for both speed and efficiency.

Siemens and NVidia aim to accelerate each other’s operations and portfolio by implementing technologies on their own systems before scaling them across industries. NVidia will assess Siemens offerings to streamline and optimize its own operations and offerings, and Siemens will assess its own workloads and collaborate with NVidia to accelerate them and integrate AI into Siemens’ customer portfolio.
