NVIDIA has deepened its partnership with CoreWeave by making a massive AED 7.3 billion investment. This deal was announced on 26 January 2026, highlighting a major shift in technology development. NVIDIA will now work directly with CoreWeave to build AI-powered factories.
This new investment nearly doubles NVIDIA’s ownership stake in CoreWeave to 11.5%. Together, the companies plan to build enough computing power to equal the energy of five nuclear reactors by the year 2030.
The partnership marks a massive change in the tech world. NVIDIA is now acting like a lead architect for CoreWeave’s fast growth. The AED 7.3 billion will be used to buy land and build the specialized buildings needed for AI. CoreWeave will also be the first company to use NVIDIA’s latest technology, including the Rubin platform and the Vera CPU. These tools are much faster than the computing platforms we use today.
Traditional data centers are usually just rooms full of separate computers. These new AI factories are different as they act like a single, giant supercomputer. NVIDIA and CoreWeave are making a standard plan for these factories. This will help companies train their AI models much faster. It will also make it cheaper to run the AI agents that many businesses now use for daily work.
The AED 7.3 billion investment from NVIDIA is a huge amount of money, but it is actually only a small start. To reach their goal of five gigawatts of power by 2030, the companies will need about AED 900 billion. This raises a very important question. How can CoreWeave find a quarter-trillion dollars without going too deep into debt?
CoreWeave plans to solve this problem by using its huge contracts with other tech giants. Companies like Meta and OpenAI have already signed deals worth billions of dollars to use CoreWeave’s power. CoreWeave can use these signed promises as collateral to borrow more money from banks. This is a very fast way to grow, but it also involves a big risk.
This deal proves that specialized AI cloud companies are now strong enough to compete with big names like Amazon and Google. NVIDIA is also providing CoreWeave with the best chips. As AI matures, competitive advantage shifts from having smart software to owning compute capacity, infrastructure, and power resources.
