Its Inception programme now supports over 3,100 UK-based startups with technical resources and networking opportunities.
In the Nordics, Nvidia is collaborating with the Norrsken Foundation to open the Stockholm AI Lab in 2027. The facility will serve as a hub for entrepreneurs and house Nvidia’s local office. Furthermore, the Sweden AI Factory is partnering with Nvidia to provide startups and SMEs with access to its infrastructure and expertise.
