Nvidia is widening its European bet, and Germany is the latest stop on the tour. The chip maker said yesterday that it is investing in four German startups: Agile Robots, Avelios Medical, Mirelo and Reflex Aerospace. The size of those investments wasn’t disclosed.
The four names point to the spread Nvidia wants here. Agile Robots works on AI robotics. Avelios Medical is in AI healthtech. Mirelo is focused on AI audio, while Reflex Aerospace brings space technology into the mix. Nvidia already backs two other German startups, n8n and Black Forest Labs.
These deals are part of a much larger push. Nvidia says it plans to invest nearly $10bn across European tech, including startups, universities and research institutions. The company has also recently announced startup investments in France and the UK, while Jensen Huang has been moving through Europe in what looks very much like a charm offensive, with a stop in Sweden along the way.
Germany is clearly a central target. During Huang’s visit, Nvidia said he spoke with German chancellor Friedrich Merz about Germany’s AI roadmap and the industrial uses of AI. The discussion centered on how the country can lean on its manufacturing and automotive strengths. Nvidia and Germany also announced a joint venture to push cutting-edge AI models for physical AI, alongside other deals with German partners including Siemens and Mercedes-Benz.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This is Nvidia doing what powerful platform companies do best: planting flags everywhere useful before anyone else gets there. The neat part is that it’s not selling Europe a vague AI dream; it’s tying itself to factories, cars and research, where the bills are real and the politics are easier to dress up as strategy. Very on brand: invest first, ask later.
