NVIDIA to Invest $1 Billion in Nokia for 2.9% Stake

NVIDIA Corp. and Nokia Corporation have announced a strategic partnership where NVIDIA will purchase approximately $1 billion worth of shares in Nokia at $6.01 per share, resulting in a stake of 2.90% in the Finnish telecoms vendor, as per the news reports. 

The agreement underpins a broader collaboration to advance AI-RAN platforms and next-generation connectivity solutions.

Investment Details and Strategic Objectives

Under the investment, Nokia’s board authorised the issuance of 166,389,351 new shares to NVIDIA. The funds from the share issuance will be used by Nokia to accelerate development in its 5G/6G radio-access-network (RAN) software, data-centre networking capabilities and other AI infrastructure initiatives. 

The partnership indicates both companies’ intent to leverage NVIDIA’s computing architecture and Nokia’s networking expertise to address the upcoming “AI super-cycle” in telecommunications.

Technology Roadmap and Market Implications

As part of the collaboration, Nokia and NVIDIA will work together on integrating NVIDIA’s data-centre switching and optical technologies into Nokia’s product stack, with a special focus on AI-enabled network functions and 6G-ready infrastructure. 

The deal also signals a market expectation that the AI-RAN sector could exceed $200 billion by 2030. For NVIDIA, the acquisition consolidates its presence in networking and 6G infrastructure; for Nokia, the investment supports its transformation into a key player in cloud-native and AI-driven communications platforms.
