Nvidia has confirmed “Globes” report that it has chosen the Israel Land Authority (ILA) area in Kiryat Tivon to build its huge campus that will accommodate up to 10,000 employees.
According to the illustration published by the US chip giant, this will be a large campus inspired by the design of the company’s new iconic headquarters in Santa Clara. When built it will be surrounded by commercial areas and restaurants with investment in parks and green spaces.
AMD, Intel and Qualcomm all have divisions in Israel too.
Intel has a fab there but aborted their large new Israel fab after the genocide started. AMD has some footprint in Israel too.
What really sets Nvidia apart here is this massive campus and investment during the genocide.
Intel didn’t abort their new facility because of genocide, they could care less. They’re not making money right now so it’s not a good time to expand, and that’s about it.
Politics aside: it’s fucking wild that that such a tiny (both geographically and population) nation with water shortages (yes I know about desal) and in prime position to get wrecked by climate change is such a popular spot for so many tech companies.
Also next time Elon or other whines about declining population, we can cite that a nation of ~10M can support so many tech companies.
