Why It Matters
Nvidia boss Jensen Huang is touring Europe to celebrate the launch of new notebooks and to hold political discussions.
Berlin. If Jensen Huang didn't run the world's most valuable company, he could easily make a living as an entertainer. In Berlin, the boss and founder of Nvidia proved this Friday evening that he can inspire an audience in a very short time.
“It's a dream come true for us,” the 63-year-old shouted to an enthusiastic crowd in a Saturn branch on Alexanderplatz, where he was a surprise guest celebrating the start of sales of the first notebooks that run entirely on Nvidia chips. To call Huang the chip industry's star is an understatement.
Huang is currently touring Europe – and is being welcomed with open arms everywhere. Paris, London, Stockholm, and now Berlin. He met French President Emmanuel Macron. A conversation with Chancellor Friedrich Merz is scheduled for next Monday, which will also discuss a partnership for the development of AI models for industry. The Handelsblatt reported exclusively on this. The federal government has high hopes – and a three-digit million sum – in the project. Nvidia also apparently wants to participate.
