GTC 2025: Nvidia announces a one billion dollar investment in Nokia to jointly develop AI-driven 5G and 6G networks.

NVIDIA held its annual GTC 2025 developer conference in Washington, D.C., where CEO Jen-Hsun Huang delivered a keynote speech announcing several major collaborations and investment projects involving government agencies, technology companies, and telecommunications providers. One of the most notable announcements of the day was NVIDIA's investment of $1 billion in Finnish communications equipment company Nokia (, establishing a long-term strategic partnership to jointly develop AI-driven 5G and 6G network technologies. According to an official statement released by Nokia, the company will issue approximately 166 million new shares to NVIDIA at a price of around $6.01 per share (approximately €5.16), with NVIDIA expected to hold 2.9% after the investment. Both parties will work together to advance research and deployment of the AI-RAN (Artificial Intelligence Radio Access Network) architecture, leveraging NVIDIA's GPU computing and platform technology to enhance Nokia's wireless network software performance, laying the groundwork for future AI-native 5G and 6G communications infrastructure. Nokia is a long-established company in mobile communications technology, once a representative brand for non-smartphones, with the advertising tagline “Human Technology” ) technology always comes from humanity ( always remembered. Following the news, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) stock saw a big pump of 20.86%.

Highlights of the collaboration between NVIDIA and Nokia technology

Nokia will introduce NVIDIA's GPU and AI platform in its 5G and 6G network products to enhance the computational efficiency of the Radio Access Network (RAN) software and improve overall network performance. According to NVIDIA's press release, both parties will jointly promote the concept of “AI-native networks,” allowing communication infrastructure to have self-adjusting, energy consumption optimization, and real-time decision-making capabilities, making future networks smarter and more efficient. At the same time, NVIDIA is conducting tests with several major U.S. telecom operators, including T-Mobile, which will be the first to validate the practical application of AI-RAN technology in commercial networks. The industry generally believes that this cooperation is not only a technological upgrade but also represents that AI is deeply penetrating the communication infrastructure layer, laying the foundation for the future 6G era.

NVIDIA GTC 2025, AI ecosystem big pump

At the GTC conference, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang emphasized that the United States must continue to maintain its leading position in the field of artificial intelligence. He announced that NVIDIA will collaborate with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to build seven new AI supercomputers to drive national scientific research and energy innovation. Jen-Hsun Huang specifically thanked DOE Secretary Chris Wright for his support, stating that this initiative will “ensure that America leads in science once again.” In addition to government collaboration, Jen-Hsun Huang also announced new alliances with several companies, including Uber, CrowdStrike, and Palantir, covering fields such as transportation, cybersecurity, and data analysis, further expanding NVIDIA's AI ecosystem.
