NVIDIA Invests $1 Billion in Nokia

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3, 2025 – NVIDIA announced Tuesday that it will invest $1 billion for a 2.9 percent stake in Nokia to bring AI into the core of future wireless networks.

The deal pairs NVIDIA’s artificial intelligence chips with Nokia’s radio access network, laying the groundwork for what both companies call the AI-native era of wireless, where networks manage and optimize themselves using machine learning.

For Nokia, the influx of cash offers breathing room after a rough stretch in its mobile networks business, which posted a quarterly loss earlier this year. For NVIDIA, the deal provides an entry point into a wireless equipment market that has been slow to embrace its high-performance graphics processing units.
