Accenture and Nvidia announced partnership expansion with Accenture’s new Nvidia business group focused on helping customers rapidly scale AI adoption. Accenture said the new group will utilize Accenture’s AI Refinery platform — built on the Nvidia AI stack, including Nvidia AI Foundry, Nvidia AI Enterprise, and Nvidia Omniverse — to help clients create a foundation for the use of agentic AI.
“We believe the next wave of agentic AI will be a huge step forward and will be a game changer in how our clients reinvent their business,” said Lan Guan, Chief AI Officer at Accenture. “To me, it’s no longer just about prompting the prebuilt large language models and waiting for a response—what we call zero-shot prompting. Now, with agentic AI, we can actually develop specialized capabilities that can independently and autonomously, or act, to make progress against goals or humans’ intentions.”
Accenture also disclosed that the new business group will be supported by more than 30,000 Nvidia-trained AI practitioners to help clients reinvent processes and scale enterprise AI adoption. Further, Accenture AI Foundry will be available on all public and private cloud platforms and will integrate with other Accenture business groups.
As part of the initiative, Accenture plans to debut an Nvidia NIM Agent Blueprint for virtual facility robot fleet simulation. That blueprint will integrate Nvidia Omniverse, Isaac, and Metropolis software to help industrial companies build autonomous, robot-operated software-defined factories and facilities.
