Siemens Chief Executive Roland Busch said his company will continue its recently announced partnership with Nvidia even after CEO Jensen Huang announced his resignation on Thursday.
A little more than two weeks ago, tED magazine reported on the latest partnership between Siemens and Nvidia to advance industrial AI. The agreement was unveiled at the Siemens Electronics Factory in Erlangen, Germany, “marking a new milestone in its partnership with NVIDIA to advance AI-driven, autonomous manufacturing. The applications that are currently unique in the manufacturing industry use AI and digital twins to accelerate production ramp-up and enable more adaptive production planning. Both companies announced at CES in Las Vegas in January 2026 that they would build the world’s first fully AI-powered manufacturing sites. Since then, both companies have been co-developing and testing applications in live production at the Erlangen plant.”
“We are talking about a relatively big company with a large team, so the projects we have, they will continue independently of what’s happening at Nvidia,” Busch told reporters.
Busch also said the agreement is not depended on one person in charge of Nvidia’s operations, and is an agreement between two companies. “I believe that we are too much focused on one individual. And that is, of course, the result of all the hype in the media,” Busch said. “We have Nvidia people working together with us on our side. We have joint projects. And honestly, I don’t see any kind of influence. It’s a partnership between companies,” he said.
