𝗥𝗮𝗷 𝗠𝗶𝗿𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗶, Vice President of Global AI Clouds and Infrastructure Ecosystem at NVIDIA:

“AI factories turn energy into intelligence — the essential resource of the AI economy,” said Raj Mirpuri, vice president of global AI clouds and infrastructure ecosystem at NVIDIA. “NVIDIA DSX is a full-stack platform compatible with the CUDA ecosystem and enhanced through software over the life of the infrastructure, making AI factories more productive, fungible and durable — and a new investable asset class. Through our partnerships with Australian NCPs, this infrastructure can support multiple generations of NVIDIA compute and expand local access to accelerated computing and NVIDIA Nemotron open models, helping Australian innovators build AI at home.”

𝗢𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀, Cofounder and Co-CEO of Firmus:

“Project Southgate represents a tangible commitment to building Australia’s AI future,” said Oliver Curtis, cofounder and co-CEO of Firmus. “Together with NVIDIA, we are developing AI factories that will give Australian businesses, researchers and innovators access to world-class computing capacity at home, while positioning Australia to meet growing AI demand across Asia-Pacific.”

𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, Cofounder and CEO of Sharon AI:

“Australia has the energy, connectivity and ambition to lead in AI. That potential only becomes real capability when organizations can access world-class compute without compromising on security or sovereignty,” said James Manning, cofounder and CEO of Sharon AI. “By building on NVIDIA’s DSX platform, Sharon AI is equipped to bring gigawatt-scale AI factories to Australian enterprises, researchers, government and AI natives. With the trust and reliability needed to build, train and deploy AI at scale, Australia can turn its natural advantages into a genuine national AI capability.”

𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗹 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘀, Cofounder and Co-CEO of IREN:

“Building AI infrastructure at scale requires integrating every layer: data centers, compute and software,” said Daniel Roberts, cofounder and co-CEO of IREN. “Combining IREN’s vertically integrated platform with the NVIDIA DSX AI factory reference architecture provides a repeatable blueprint to bring capacity online at scale. We are applying that blueprint across our development portfolio, bringing IREN’s proven international delivery and operating experience to our 800-megawatt Bundey campus in South Australia.”

𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗱, CEO of Megaport:

“Megaport is proud to support Australia’s growing AI infrastructure ecosystem as an Australian-founded global infrastructure provider,” said Michael Reid, CEO of Megaport. “By investing in NVIDIA AI factories and expanding access to high-performance AI infrastructure, we help Australian organisations build and deploy AI locally, and scale globally through Megaport’s worldwide platform.”

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗹 𝗭𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗮, Joint CEO of ResetData:

“At ResetData, we’ve proven that when Australian businesses and researchers like the team at ProCan at the Children’s Medical Research Institute have access to high-performance compute, they can deliver industry-leading results,” said Marcel Zalloua, joint CEO of ResetData. “That is why we are proud to partner with NVIDIA and develop the sovereign, purpose-built infrastructure solutions that will accelerate Australian expertise and empower local businesses with the tools needed to compete and innovate on the global stage.”

𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗴 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗿, Founder and CEO of CDC:

“CDC operates more than 550 megawatts of capacity across Australia and New Zealand, with a further 800 megawatts under construction and additional growth planned to support world-leading, high-density workloads for critical infrastructure,” said Greg Boorer, founder and CEO of CDC. “Our facilities use 100% renewable electricity and incorporate pioneering zero water advanced cooling technologies certified for NVIDIA accelerated computing infrastructure.”
