In 2023, Nvidia launched Israel-1, one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, in partnership with Dell. Housed in Nvidia’s Israeli data center, Israel-1 is designed to serve the company’s R&D team and other “selected partners." -- Listed on NASDAQ (NVDA), Nvidia Corporation is backed by leading sovereign wealth funds, most notably NBIM and Temasek.
