NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang will visit Israel around the time of Independence Day, in the second half of April, Globes has learned. During last month's CES annual trade show in Las Vegas, Huang had said that he expects to visit Israel soon.

Huang has been to Israel before. He had been scheduled to address a large AI Conference in Tel Aviv in October 2023, which was canceled due to the outbreak of the war. However, he had been in Israel in April 2023 and in 2019 to conduct the negotiations that led to the acquisition of Mellanox. 

Huang will be the second major US tech figure to visit Israel this spring, several weeks after Elon Musk's planned visit.

While in Israel, Huang will meet with NVIDIA's fast-growing workforce, which, according to the company's latest financial report, has nearly 6,000 employees.

Huang has made several strategic decisions regarding the company's expansion in Israel in recent months, including the construction of a development campus in Kiryat Tivon, scheduled for completion by 2031, which could house up to 10,000 employees.

NVIDIA has also leased additional office space in Yokneam and Tel Aviv. Earlier this week, Nvidia acquired Israeli company Illumex for $75 million to encourage large enterprises to integrate more AI agents into their systems.
