NVIDIA Corporation is a leading fabless semiconductor company specializing in the design and development of graphics processing units (GPUs) and system-on-chip units (SoCs). Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California, NVIDIA has played a pivotal role in advancing visual computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and high-performance computing. The company went public in 1999 and has since expanded its product portfolio beyond traditional graphics to encompass data center and automotive solutions.
At the core of NVIDIA’s business are its GeForce GPUs, which power gaming PCs and consumer graphics devices, and its professional-grade offerings under the NVIDIA RTX and Quadro brands for content creation, simulation, and design workflows. In the data center segment, NVIDIA provides high-throughput accelerators—such as the NVIDIA A100 and H100 Tensor Core GPUs—and integrated systems like NVIDIA DGX for AI training and inference tasks. The company also develops the DRIVE platform for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle research.
NVIDIA’s software ecosystem is built around CUDA, a parallel computing platform and programming model that enables developers to harness GPU acceleration for AI, scientific computing, and data analytics. The company has further extended its reach with platforms like NVIDIA AI Enterprise, NVIDIA Omniverse for real-time collaboration and simulation, and DeepStream for video analytics. Through strategic partnerships with cloud providers, research institutions, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), NVIDIA fosters an expansive developer community and accelerates adoption of its technologies.
Serving customers worldwide across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and other regions, NVIDIA has established offices, research centers and partner networks in major tech hubs. Co-founder Jensen Huang continues to lead the company as President and Chief Executive Officer, guiding NVIDIA’s strategy in GPU computing, AI innovation and emerging markets. With a focus on R&D and cross-industry collaboration, NVIDIA aims to advance computing platforms that enable breakthroughs in healthcare, automotive, gaming and enterprise applications.
