NVIDIA invests $2 billion in Synopsys partnership for AI engineering

NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) announced it invested $2 billion in Synopsys Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS) common stock at $414.79 per share as part of an expanded strategic partnership between the companies.

The multi-year collaboration will integrate NVIDIA's AI and accelerated computing technologies with Synopsys' engineering solutions across semiconductor, aerospace, automotive and industrial sectors. The partnership aims to accelerate Synopsys applications using NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries and AI-Physics technologies.

Key initiatives include developing agentic AI engineering workflows by combining Synopsys AgentEngineer technology with NVIDIA's AI technology stack, including NIM microservices and NeMo Agent Toolkit software. The companies will also collaborate on digital twin solutions using NVIDIA Omniverse and Cosmos technologies.

"CUDA GPU-accelerated computing is revolutionizing design — enabling simulation at unprecedented speed and scale, from atoms to transistors, from chips to complete systems, creating fully functional digital twins inside the computer," said Jensen Huang, NVIDIA founder and CEO.

Synopsys CEO Sassine Ghazi stated the partnership will "re-engineer engineering and empower innovators everywhere to more efficiently realize their innovations."

The companies plan to develop cloud-ready solutions and joint go-to-market initiatives utilizing Synopsys' global network of direct sellers and channel partners. The partnership is not exclusive, with both companies continuing to work with other semiconductor and electronic design automation ecosystem partners.

The announcement was made in a press release statement from both companies.
