Israel’s Innovation Authority launched a new national AI supercomputer, built by Nebius, making advanced computing power available to help companies and researchers train large models, and strengthening the growing Israel AI ecosystem.
The attention is now shifting from building infrastructure to putting it to work. There is a rising AI investment in Israel, as public institutions move to support long-term growth in advanced computing and model development.
Israel Supercomputer
Israel’s AI Supercomputer project gives local teams access to large scale computing that was once limited to global tech giants.
The Israel supercomputer is designed to operate at high availability while offering costs lower than commercial cloud rates. Over time, the supercomputer is expected to grow as demand increases.
Nvidia pushed for this by providing computing resources equal to 1,000 Nvidia B200 accelerators that will be allocated over the coming years. 70% will go to Big Tech companies to train commercial models, while 30% will support academic research.
The balance will strengthen both applied and basic work in Israel AI development.
For Israel artificial intelligence this system is the turning point. Allowing companies to train models locally instead of relying on overseas infrastructure is a big step that can also reinforce the country’s military strength.
By keeping this work inside the country, Israel artificial intelligence research can move faster and stay more secure.
Israel AI Long Term Strategy
Academic researchers will begin receiving access to accelerators in the coming weeks, expanding the impact of AI investment in Israel beyond the private sector. Universities will also benefit from running large experiments that were previously too costly or slow.
“The start of the supercomputer’s operation for industrial and academic use is a key step in strengthening Israel’s R&D infrastructure for artificial intelligence,” said Dror Bin, CEO of the Innovation Authority. “Now that the infrastructure is established and operational, we are providing companies and researchers direct access to advanced computing resources through discounted accelerators.”
Despite the fact that the project is civilian, it also fits into a broader ecosystem that includes IDF AI.
The IDF is well known for its technological innovations and military intelligence, and this new project is an addition where advanced computing supports analysis, logistics, and decision systems without direct reliance on foreign platforms.
The supercomputer also aligns with the Israel national AI plan, that keeps talent, data, and model training inside the country. Officials see this as essential to maintaining independence in critical technologies.
By linking public infrastructure with startups, universities, and national goals, the initiative strengthens Israel AI leadership while placing Israel AI tech as a core driver of future growth.
