The expanded partnership introduces Accenture’s AI Refinery, leveraging NVIDIA’s full AI stack to reinvent processes and enable agentic AI systems.
Accenture and NVIDIA have announced the expansion of their partnership, with the formation of a new Accenture NVIDIA Business Group aimed at helping global enterprises accelerate their adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). The new group will leverage Accenture’s AI Refinery, utilising NVIDIA’s full AI stack, including NVIDIA AI Foundry, AI Enterprise, and Omniverse, to drive process reinvention, AI-powered simulations, and sovereign AI capabilities.
The announcement follows a surge in demand for genAI, contributing to $3 billion in Accenture bookings in its recently concluded fiscal year. The AI Refinery will be available across public and private cloud platforms, seamlessly integrating with Accenture’s other business groups to advance AI within the SaaS and Cloud AI 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 of 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, added, “AI will supercharge enterprises 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 newly-formed Accenture NVIDIA Business Group will focus on scaling agentic AI, a next-generation AI system that responds to user prompts and acts on user intent, creating new workflows and autonomously taking actions based on environmental factors. This innovation represents a significant advancement in generative AI, driving new productivity levels and operational growth.
The partnership has already yielded results, such as collaborating with Indosat Group, which has launched Indonesia’s first sovereign AI system. This system allows local businesses to deploy AI while maintaining data governance and regulatory compliance. The platform, built using NVIDIA AI software and hardware, initially focuses on the financial services sector, helping Indonesian banks drive profitability and operational efficiency.
Accenture will introduce a new NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprint for virtual facility robot fleet simulation in the industrial space. This will enable companies to build autonomous, robot-operated factories, which are expected to reduce design time by 50% and cut cycle times by 30%.
Accenture is also establishing a global network of AI Engineering Hubs as part of its Center for Advanced AI to support the scaling of agentic AI systems. These hubs will be in Singapore, Tokyo, Malaga, and London. They will focus on developing, fine-tuning, and deploying large-scale AI models, addressing key challenges like cost, latency, and compliance.
Accenture is further integrating agentic AI into its own operations, with its marketing function using the AI Refinery platform to reduce manual steps by 25-35%, lower costs by 6%, and accelerate speed to market by up to 55%.
