Accenture, Nvidia Forge Artificial Intelligence Partnership
Accenture and NVIDIA have announced an expanded partnership, marked by the formation of a new NVIDIA Business Group within Accenture. This initiative aims to accelerate AI adoption across global enterprises, enabling rapid scaling of AI capabilities.
With generative AI driving $3 billion in bookings for Accenture in the last fiscal year, the new group will leverage Accenture’s AI Refinery™️, which integrates the full NVIDIA AI stack—including NVIDIA AI Foundry, NVIDIA AI Enterprise, and NVIDIA Omniverse. The AI Refinery will enable advancements in areas like process reinvention, AI-powered simulations, and sovereign AI, and will be available on all public and private cloud platforms. This framework will also integrate with other Accenture Business Groups, driving AI adoption across SaaS and cloud ecosystems.
“We are breaking significant new ground with our partnership with NVIDIA and enabling our clients to be at the forefront of using generative AI as a catalyst for reinvention,” said Julie Sweet, Chair and CEO, Accenture. “Accenture AI Refinery will create opportunities for companies to reimagine their processes and operations, discover new ways of working, and scale AI solutions across the enterprise to help drive continuous change and create value.”
Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, echoed this sentiment, stating, “AI will supercharge enterprises, enabling them to scale innovation at greater speed. “NVIDIA’s platform, Accenture’s AI Refinery and our combined expertise will help businesses and nations accelerate this transformation to drive unprecedented productivity and growth.”
The new Accenture NVIDIA Business Group will focus on scaling agentic AI systems—an emerging frontier in generative AI. Unlike traditional generative AI, agentic AI systems act on user intent, creating new workflows and taking actions autonomously, enabling the reinvention of entire processes and functions. Over 30,000 professionals will be trained globally to support clients in scaling AI and reinventing business processes.
Accenture and NVIDIA are already collaborating on key projects, such as the deployment of Indonesia’s first sovereign AI system in partnership with Indosat Group. This initiative enables businesses to deploy AI securely while ensuring data governance and regulatory compliance. With an initial focus on the financial services sector, these AI-powered solutions will help Indonesian banks drive profitability, efficiency, and sustainable growth.
Accenture will also introduce the NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprint for virtual facility robot fleet simulation, integrating NVIDIA Omniverse, Isaac, and Metropolis software. This will enable industrial companies to build autonomous, robot-operated, software-defined factories. These capabilities will be used at Eclipse Automation, an Accenture-owned company, to deliver faster designs and reduced cycle times for clients.
As part of its Center for Advanced AI, Accenture will establish a network of hubs with deep engineering expertise to harness agentic AI systems and address large-scale operational challenges. These hubs will focus on fine-tuning foundational models while managing accuracy, cost, and compliance concerns. In addition to existing hubs in Mountain View, California, and Bangalore, Accenture will add new AI Refinery Engineering Hubs in Singapore, Tokyo, Malaga, and London.
Moreover, Accenture’s marketing division will integrate the AI Refinery platform to run smarter, faster campaigns, cutting manual steps by 25-35%, reducing costs by 6%, and increasing speed to market by up to 55%. This broad use of agentic AI will enable a transformative approach across industries.
