Nvidia chief urges Germany to expand AI use and private investment at Berlin events

At a Berlin investors’ conference, Nvidia founder Jensen Huang addressed Friedrich Merz and called on Germany to "build itself anew" by leveraging AI alongside its engineering know-how, praising the country’s scientific capabilities while stressing the need for data sovereignty. He highlighted Nvidia’s ongoing investments in Germany and urged wider AI adoption across large, medium and small enterprises and research institutes.

At the Berlin launch of Nvidia’s new RTX Spark laptop chip, Huang expressed disappointment that Germany lags in technology, warned that over‑analysis may be holding the nation back and called on innovators to get to work. Christian Sewing warned that state funding alone cannot close the investment gap and said reliable private capital is essential, as the federal government prepares a three‑digit‑million‑euro partnership with Nvidia.
