NVIDIA and Synopsys Announce Strategic Partnership to Revolutionize Engineering and Design

NVIDIA and Synopsys announced a significant expansion of their long-standing strategic partnership, aimed at redefining how next-generation products are designed, simulated, and engineered across global industries.

R&D teams in sectors ranging from semiconductors and aerospace to automotive, industrial, and healthcare face mounting complexity, rising development costs, and accelerating time-to-market demands. Through this enhanced collaboration, the companies will combine NVIDIA’s leadership in AI and accelerated computing with Synopsys’ industry-leading engineering and EDA solutions. The result: advanced capabilities that enable teams to design, simulate, and validate intelligent systems with greater accuracy, speed, and efficiency.

Key Areas of Joint Development:

Accelerating Synopsys’ Application Portfolio
Synopsys will leverage NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries and AI-Physics technologies to accelerate compute-intensive workloads, including chip design, physical verification, molecular simulation, electromagnetic analysis, optical modeling, and more.

Advancing Agentic AI for Engineering
The collaboration integrates Synopsys AgentEngineer™ with the NVIDIA Agentic AI stack — including NVIDIA NIM microservices, the NVIDIA NeMo Agent Toolkit, and NVIDIA Nemotron models — to enable autonomous AI-driven workflows across EDA, simulation, and analysis.

Driving Next-Generation Digital Twins
Together, the companies will advance virtual design and validation using high-fidelity digital twins for sectors such as semiconductors, robotics, aerospace, automotive, energy, and industrial applications. Technologies, including NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Cosmos will play a central role.

Cloud-Ready Engineering Solutions
The partners will broaden access to GPU-accelerated engineering tools by enabling cloud-based delivery for teams of all sizes.

Joint Go-to-Market Initiatives
To accelerate adoption, NVIDIA and Synopsys will launch coordinated go-to-market efforts, leveraging Synopsys’ global sales network and its agreement to license, sell, and support Omniverse-enabled simulation technologies.

The partnership remains non-exclusive, as both companies continue to collaborate with the broader semiconductor and EDA ecosystem to drive shared innovation and growth.
