Accenture and NVIDIA announced an expansion of their partnership, with Accenture forming a new NVIDIA professional group focused on helping companies around the world rapidly scale their use of AI.
With demand for generative AI driving $3 billion in bookings for Accenture in its last fiscal year, the new group is focused on helping companies deploy agentic AI capabilities using Accenture ’s AI Refinery . Leveraging NVIDIA’s full AI offering, including NVIDIA AI Foundry , NVIDIA AI Enterprise , and NVIDIA Omniverse , its goal is to accelerate innovation in key areas such as operations transformation, AI simulation, and the development of sovereign AI.
Accenture AI Refinery will be available across all public and private cloud platforms and will integrate seamlessly with other Accenture business groups to accelerate AI across the SaaS and Cloud AI ecosystem.

“ This partnership with NVIDIA is a major innovation lever that allows us to provide our clients with all the keys to effectively reinvent themselves through the integration of generative AI,” said Julie Sweet , CEO of Accenture. “ Accenture ’s AI Refinery offers companies the opportunity to transform their processes and operations, discover new ways of working and extend AI solutions across their entire activities to continue their transformation and create more value.”
“ AI acts as a springboard for businesses to amplify their innovation efforts,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “ By combining the NVIDIA platform, Accenture’s AI Refinery and our expertise, we hope to help businesses and countries accelerate their transformation to achieve unprecedented productivity and growth.”
Accenture NVIDIA Professional Group Helps Enterprises Adopt Agentic AI at Scale
Accenture’s new NVIDIA Professional Group will accelerate enterprises’ move toward generative AI and help them scale their agentic AI systems, unlocking new levels of productivity and growth. This major investment will be supported by more than 30,000 trained professionals globally, who will help clients adopt AI and reinvent their operations.
Agentic AI systems represent a real breakthrough for generative AI. Where today a human must enter a prompt or automate already existing business steps, agentic AI systems will act according to the user’s intentions. They will create new workflows and take appropriate actions based on their environment, completely revolutionizing processes or even entire functions.
Accenture and NVIDIA are already helping clients adopt and scale agentic AI systems. For example, Indosat Group announced the launch of Indonesia’s first sovereign AI that enables businesses to securely integrate AI into their operations while ensuring data governance and regulatory compliance. The group is collaborating with Accenture to create industry-specific solutions , complementing Indosat’s data center, which integrates NVIDIA AI software and accelerated computing, to support local businesses. With an initial focus on the financial services sector, the new solutions, powered by the AI Refinery platform , will help Indonesian banks leverage AI to drive profitability and operational efficiency, and ensure sustainable growth in a highly competitive market.
Accenture will also launch a new NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprint for virtual plant robot fleet simulation, which integrates NVIDIA Omniverse, Isaac and Metropolis software , to enable industrial companies to develop autonomous, robot-operated factories and facilities.
These new capabilities will be used by Eclipse Automation, an industrial automation company owned by Accenture, with the aim of achieving up to 50% faster designs and reducing complete cycle time by 30% for its customers.
A network of AI engineering centers
As part of its Center for Advanced AI , Accenture is establishing a network of centers with the deep engineering skills and technical capabilities needed to transform large-scale operations with agentic AI systems. These centers will focus on large-scale selection, tuning, and inference of base models, all of which pose significant challenges of accuracy, cost, latency, and compliance as development scales. In addition to existing hubs in Mountain View, California, and Bangalore, Accenture is opening new AI Refinery engineering centers in Singapore, Tokyo, Malaga, and London.
Accenture Embraces Agentic AI
In addition to its use of agentic AI in Eclipse Automation, Accenture’s marketing function is integrating the AI Refinery platform with autonomous agents that help it design and execute more relevant campaigns in less time. This will result in a 25-35% reduction in manual intervention, a 6% reduction in costs, and a 25-55% faster time to market.
