Nvidia’s headquarters are in Santa Clara, California, where the leading semiconductor company has been based for much of its modern history.
Santa Clara is part of Silicon Valley and lies in the southern portion of the San Francisco Bay Area. Nvidia’s headquarters campus is commonly associated with the company’s development of graphics processors, accelerated computing platforms, and artificial-intelligence technologies.
The city can be confused with nearby San Jose, the largest city in the Bay Area’s South Bay region. Nvidia’s headquarters are specifically in Santa Clara, although the company operates offices and research facilities in many countries.
Nvidia was incorporated in Delaware and was founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem. Its location in Silicon Valley places it near many other major technology companies and semiconductor businesses, but headquarters geography is separate from where its chips are manufactured.
