Jensen Huang is the man of the moment on a massive mission: to strike AI infrastructure deals with Europe. The Nvidia CEO owned multiple rooms as he rubbed shoulders with world leaders at London Tech Week and VivaTech in Paris.

On June 12, 2025, at VivaTech in Paris, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang issued repeated warnings that tightening US restrictions on AI chip exports to China may backfire, accelerating the rise of Chinese tech giant Huawei and potentially undermining America's leadership in the global AI ecosystem.

The Nvidia CEO gave his continued bullish assessment of artificial intelligence, calling it an “incredible technology” and saying it should be seen as infrastructure, just like electricity.

A breakfast meeting at a Denny's restaurant led to the creation of NVIDIA Corporation. Today, the Nvidia CEO is worth significantly more than the restaurant company.

NVIDIA expands across Europe with major AI infrastructure deals, focusing on sovereign AI to offset China losses and boost local tech development.

US tech company Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang said Thursday that this decade, autonomous cars and robotics will become even more popular. “This is going to be the decade of AV (autonomous vehicles), robotics, autonomous machines,” Huang told CNBC television at a tech event in Paris.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says he isn’t threatened by the fact that his largest customers—from Amazon Web Services and Microsoft to OpenAI—are trying to build their own chips for artificial intelligence.
