Bloomberg reporter Benoit Berthelot reported on October 13, 2026, that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had announced plans for $2 billion in European deals, including new funding for four French startups. The announcement came during a European tour that included a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, Berthelot reported for Bloomberg.
The four French startups named
The startups named for new funding are Doctolib, Genesis AI, Pigment and Entalpic. Bloomberg’s report describes the $2 billion as a plan for European deals; the four companies are part of that plan, not a breakdown of the full amount.
Huang’s separate $8 billion figure
The same Bloomberg report attributed to Huang a separate figure: Nvidia had put $8 billion into Europe during the preceding year. That figure refers to the prior year, while the $2 billion concerns planned deals.
Nvidia’s earlier U.K. commitment
On September 18, 2025, Nvidia announced a separate £2 billion commitment to the U.K. AI startup ecosystem. The company named Accel, Air Street Capital, Balderton Capital, Hoxton Ventures and Phoenix Court as collaborators. Nvidia’s announcement said the investment would be domiciled in the United States and activated in the United Kingdom.
