Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is set to take the stage in Berlin on Wednesday, as the world’s most valuable company faces heightened investor scrutiny over whether the massive artificial intelligence spending boom – the engine behind the chipmaker’s meteoric growth – can deliver long-term returns.
The conference agenda focuses on sovereign AI, industrial automation and operational infrastructure – key sectors where Nvidia hopes to drive demand beyond the handful of US tech giants currently dominating the investment landscape.
It follows Huang’s meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Monday, when Nvidia and partner Siemens showcased AI deployments in production planning and circuit-board inspection.
Huang’s keynote at Nvidia’s GTC conference, scheduled for 11am local time or 5pm Hong Kong time, comes as its customers battle rising borrowing costs and mounting delays in building the data centres required to run its processors.
