Nvidia just tripled the size of its research footprint in southern Israel. The company officially inaugurated a new 3,000-square-meter R&D center in Beersheva on Tuesday, replacing a facility one-third its size and committing to a 10-year lease on the space.
What Nvidia is actually building
The new center sits inside Beersheva’s Gav Yam High-Tech Park and already houses hundreds of workstations. Nvidia plans to hire hundreds of additional engineers and developers to staff the facility, with full operations expected by mid-2026.
This makes Beersheva Nvidia’s southernmost R&D hub in Israel, joining larger operations in Yokneam and Tel Aviv.
Beersheva Mayor Ruvik Danilovich called the move “significant and vital news for Beersheva and the Negev.” The facility will focus on both hardware and software powering AI advancements.
