Nvidia invests $3 billion in Meta and raises a historic funding round to $97.5 billion
Published
The American company Nvidia, one of the world's most important chipmakers, has announced a $3 billion investment in Meta, the company that owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. With this contribution, the historic funding round reaches a total of $97.5 billion.
A funding round is a process in which a company receives money from investors in exchange for equity or other terms. The figures for this type of transaction tend to be very high when large technology companies are involved, especially if they are related to artificial intelligence, a sector that requires large amounts of money to develop models, data centres and computing equipment.
The news shows the continued interest in companies working in artificial intelligence. Nvidia is one of the companies that benefits most from this growth, because its processors are essential for training and running these systems. For its part, Meta has also invested heavily in this technology in recent years.
The announcement comes at a time when the global technology sector is experiencing a major expansion of investment. For now, the full details of the transaction and its medium-term effects have not been made entirely public, so it will be necessary to follow the news to see how this agreement evolves.
