New York, USA, 20th March 2025 – In a noteworthy development, NVIDIA, alongside Elon Musk’s xAI, has joined the American AI Infrastructure Partnership (AIP). This consortium, consisting of BlackRock, Microsoft, Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), and MGX plans to invest over $30 billion into AI infrastructure development.
This collaboration will attempt to resolve the rising need for data centers as well as energy solutions that are supportive of more sophisticated AI technology. In the case of this partnership, up to $100 billion can be raised when debt financing is added to the investment estimate.
“Artificial Intelligence is not just an industry of the future; it underpins the future,”
Declared His Highness Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chairman of MGX.

NVIDIA will remain as a technical adviser of AIP, where he will continue to provide guidance using his knowledge in accelerated computing and AI factories in the construction of next generation AI data center infrastructure.
The AI infrastructure expansion is for the good of every business, every nation that aims for economic advancement and seeks to tackle the biggest issues of our time. Jensen Huang, founder, and CEO of NVIDIA said this.
“NVIDIA’s full-stack AI infrastructure will enable entire industries to transform data into intelligence. Resulting in breakthroughs previously deemed impossible.”
Moreover, AIP is set to deepen its partnership with GE Vernova and NextEra Energy to further diversify and scale the energy solutions for AI data centers. In addition, GE Vernova will support AIP and its partners on innovative supply chain and energy efficiency solutions.
“Artificial intelligence infrastructure will become fundamental for economic development in any industry and region,”
Satya Nadella, Microsoft Chairman and CEO, commented.
“I am particularly excited about welcoming new partners into the AI Infrastructure Partnership as we work together to provide the infrastructure for tomorrow.”
