Accenture (NYSE: ACN) and NVIDIA have announced an expanded partnership to help enterprises globally scale their AI adoption. As part of this initiative, Accenture has formed a new NVIDIA Business Group to meet the rising demand for generative AI, which drove $3 billion in Accenture’s bookings in the last fiscal year. This collaboration will leverage Accenture’s AI Refinery™, which integrates NVIDIA’s AI stack, including NVIDIA AI Foundry, AI Enterprise, and Omniverse, to drive advancements in process automation, AI-powered simulation, and sovereign AI.
The AI Refinery will be available on both public and private cloud platforms, seamlessly integrating with other Accenture Business Groups to enhance AI implementation across SaaS and Cloud AI ecosystems. According to Julie Sweet, Chair and CEO of Accenture, the partnership is set to position clients at the forefront of using generative AI to transform their operations, scale AI solutions, and drive continuous business growth. Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of NVIDIA, emphasized that this partnership will help enterprises accelerate innovation and productivity.
Accenture’s NVIDIA Business Group will focus on scaling agentic AI systems, which represent the next frontier in AI technology. These systems go beyond automating business steps by acting on user intent, creating workflows, and taking actions that can reinvent processes and operations. One of the key collaborations already underway is with the Indosat Group, which is working with Accenture to deploy sovereign AI in Indonesia, ensuring data governance and regulatory compliance while helping industries like financial services drive profitability and efficiency.
Accenture is also introducing the NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprint for virtual robot fleet simulations, which will help industrial companies build autonomous, software-defined factories. These capabilities will be used at Eclipse Automation, an Accenture-owned company, to reduce design times by 50% and cycle times by 30%, further demonstrating the power of AI to streamline operations.
In addition, Accenture is establishing AI Engineering Hubs in key locations, including Singapore, Tokyo, Malaga, and London, to advance the development of agentic AI systems. These hubs will focus on overcoming challenges related to accuracy, cost, and compliance while scaling AI across large operations. Accenture is also integrating the AI Refinery into its marketing operations to automate workflows, reduce manual steps, and cut costs, resulting in faster, smarter campaigns.
Through this expanded partnership with NVIDIA, Accenture is set to lead enterprises into a new era of AI innovation, helping businesses scale AI solutions and drive sustained growth.
