NVIDIA invested $2 billion in Synopsys common stock.
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS) today announced
an expanded, strategic partnership to revolutionize design and engineering across industries.
R&D teams, from the semiconductor industry to aerospace, automotive, industrial and beyond face significant engineering
challenges including increasing workflow complexity, escalating development costs and time-to-market pressure. This
expanded partnership will integrate the strengths of NVIDIA's AI and accelerated computing with Synopsys' market-leading
engineering solutions to deliver capabilities enabling R&D teams to design, simulate and verify intelligent products
with greater precision, speed and at lower cost. In addition, NVIDIA invested $2 billion in Synopsys common stock at a
purchase price of $414.79 per share.
"CUDA GPU-accelerated computing is revolutionizing design — enabling simulation at unprecedented speed and scale, from
atoms to transistors, from chips to complete systems, creating fully functional digital twins inside the computer," said
Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "Our partnership with Synopsys harnesses the power of NVIDIA accelerated
computing and AI to reimagine engineering and design — empowering engineers to invent the extraordinary products that
"The complexity and cost of developing next-generation intelligent systems demands engineering solutions with a deeper
integration of electronics and physics, accelerated by AI capabilities and compute. No two companies are better
positioned to deliver AI-powered, holistic system design solutions than Synopsys and NVIDIA," said Sassine Ghazi,
president and CEO of Synopsys. "Together we will re-engineer engineering and empower innovators everywhere to more
efficiently realize their innovations."
Joint Development to Enable Future of Engineering on Accelerated Computing
The multi-year partnership builds on strong, existing technology collaborations between the companies and includes the
Broadly accelerate Synopsys applications: Using NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries and AI-Physics technologies, Synopsys will
further accelerate and optimize its broad portfolio of compute-intensive applications spanning chip design, physical
verification, molecular simulations, electromagnetic analysis, optical simulation and more.
Advance agentic AI engineering: Building on the existing AI collaboration to enable agentic AI workflows, the companies
are integrating Synopsys AgentEngineer™ technology with the NVIDIA Agentic AI technology stack — including NVIDIA NIM
microservices, NVIDIA NeMo Agent Toolkit software and NVIDIA Nemotron models — to enable autonomous design capabilities
for EDA and simulation and analysis workflows.
Connect the physical and digital worlds through digital twins: The companies will collaborate to enable the next
generation of virtual design, testing and validation through the use of highly accurate and sophisticated digital twins
for industries such as semiconductor, robotics, aerospace, automotive, energy, industrial, healthcare and beyond. These
solutions will utilize NVIDIA Omniverse, NVIDIA Cosmos and other technologies.
Cloud-ready solutions: Synopsys and NVIDIA plan to make the power of accelerated engineering solutions accessible to
engineering teams of all sizes by enabling cloud access for GPU-accelerated engineering solutions.
Develop joint go-to-market initiatives: To drive market adoption, the companies also have agreed to develop joint
go-to-market initiatives to broadly reach engineering teams across multiple industries with both on-premise and
cloud-ready solutions. This go-to-market effort will utilize Synopsys' global network of thousands of direct sellers and
channel partners, building on Synopsys' broad customer base and existing agreement to license, sell, and support
Omniverse technology embedded in Synopsys simulation solutions.
This partnership is not exclusive. NVIDIA and Synopsys continue to partner with the broader semiconductor and electronic
design automation (EDA) ecosystem to create shared growth opportunities for the future of engineering and design.
Press Conference: The CEOs of NVIDIA and Synopsys will conduct a webcast press conference today at 7 a.m. PST (10 a.m.
EST) to discuss the announcement. The webcast will be available for the public to listen in here:
