Nvidia Invests $2B in Synopsys, Launches Multi-Year AI Engineering Alliance 

Nvidia has acquired $2 billion of Synopsys common stock at $414.79 per share as part of a wide-ranging strategic partnership designed to reshape how next-generation products are engineered across industries. The companies said the expanded collaboration will combine Nvidia’s strengths in AI and accelerated computing with Synopsys’ leadership in chip design and engineering software to help R&D teams design, simulate, and validate intelligent systems with greater precision, higher speed, and lower cost. 

“The complexity and cost of developing next-generation intelligent systems demands engineering solutions with a deeper integration of electronics and physics, accelerated by AI capabilities and compute,” said Sassine Ghazi, president and CEO of Synopsys. 

Under the multi-year agreement, Nvidia and Synopsys plan to integrate CUDA-accelerated computing, agentic and physical AI, and Nvidia Omniverse digital-twin technology to deliver simulation capabilities at speeds and scale not possible with traditional CPU-based workflows. The companies said these advances unlock new opportunities across engineering and product development. 

The partnership is non-exclusive, and both firms emphasized that they will continue collaborating across the broader semiconductor and electronic design automation (EDA) ecosystem.
