May 26, 2025 7:10 AM

04:26 PM EDT, 05/13/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Nvidia ( NVDA ) , Amazon ( AMZN ) and Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Google ( GOOG ) were among US companies that announced separate partnerships with Humain, an artificial intelligence company backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.

The announcements come as the White House said Tuesday that Saudi Arabia will invest $600 billion in the US, initially focusing on areas including energy, defense, technology and critical minerals. President Donald Trump arrived in Riyadh on Tuesday, with plans to visit Qatar and the United Arab Emirates later in the week, CNN reported.

Nvidia ( NVDA ) and Humain said Tuesday that the latter will build AI factories in Saudi Arabia with up to 500 megawatts of capacity, powered by "several hundred thousand" of Nvidia's ( NVDA ) most advanced graphics processing units over the next five years. "These hyperscale AI data centers will provide a secure foundational infrastructure for training and deploying sovereign AI models at scale, enabling industries across Saudi Arabia and worldwide to accelerate innovation and digital transformation," according to the statement.

Amazon's ( AMZN ) cloud-computing business, Amazon Web Services, and Humain will invest more than $5 billion to build an AI zone in the kingdom. This is in addition to an AWS infrastructure region being built in Saudi Arabia that will become available in 2026.

Google Cloud and Saudi's PIF said that the two will invest a joint $10 billion to build a global AI hub in Saudi Arabia. Separately, Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD ) and Humain announced an investment of up to $10 billion to deploy 500 megawatts of AI compute capacity over the next five years.

The White House said Google ( GOOG ), DataVolt, Oracle (ORCL), Salesforce ( CRM ) , AMD and Uber Technologies ( UBER ) pledged to invest $80 billion in technologies in both countries.

The White House announcement mentioned Parsons (PSN) among American companies building key infrastructure projects in Saudi Arabia totaling $2 billion in US services exports.

"Parsons is proud to be a part of (Trump's) initiatives to strengthen strategic relations in Saudi Arabia," Parsons Chief Executive Carey Smith said in a statement to MT Newswires.

The other companies did not reply to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
