Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Announces Investments in Five UK Startups Spanning AI Drug Discovery and Quantum Computing

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced on October 14 at an event in London that the chip giant is taking minority stakes in five UK startups. The companies include Boltz, an AI drug discovery firm; Foresight, an infrastructure predictor; Hiverge, an AI logistics planning startup; Prima Mente, an AI biology company; and Riverlane, a quantum computing startup.

This move follows Nvidia's recent announcement of investments in four French startups and a $250 million compute donation to UK AI safety and research efforts. These actions underscore Nvidia's strategy to deepen its influence in the European tech ecosystem through both capital and computational resources. Nvidia has previously invested in other UK-based companies such as Basecamp Research, Ineffable Intelligence, Synthesia, and Wayve.
