Nvidia teams up with Australian partners to build AI factory capacity
On Wednesday, NVIDIA announced a collaboration with Australian NVIDIA Cloud Partners to expand infrastructure for artificial intelligence, targeting a 2-gigawatt capacity buildout by 2027 using the NVIDIA DSX platform.
Australia's established sustainable energy and digital infrastructure provide a strong foundation for expansion, as growing AI adoption across industries increases demand for high-performance computing infrastructure.
Sharon AI leads partner deployments with 68,000 NVIDIA GPUs, while IREN develops its 800-megawatt Bundey campus in South Australia and CDC operates more than 550 megawatts of capacity across Australia and New Zealand.
Expanding access enables local innovators, startups, and researchers to build AI models and agents tailored to Australian industries. Megaport subsidiary Latitude and ResetData provide accelerated computing with 100% renewable electricity powering infrastructure operations.
Next year, NVIDIA expects its chips will consume more energy in Australia than the nation's existing data centers currently use. This positions the country to meet rising AI demand across the Asia-Pacific region.
