Accenture and Nvidia Form New AI Group to Scale Agentic AI Adoption

Accenture and Nvidia have deepened their partnership with the formation of the new Accenture Nvidia Business Group. This initiative aims to help businesses worldwide scale their AI adoption, particularly in agentic AI systems, through Accenture’s AI Refinery™ platform, which leverages Nvidia’s full AI stack.

Accenture’s AI Refinery Platform

Accenture’s AI Refinery will be available across public and private cloud platforms, helping companies embark on custom agentic AI journeys. The platform integrates Nvidia AI Foundry, Nvidia AI Enterprise, and Nvidia Omniverse to enhance processes such as AI-powered simulation, process reinvention, and sovereign AI.

A network of AI Refinery Engineering Hubs is set to open in key locations across Europe, Asia, and North America, serving a vast team of 57,000 Accenture AI practitioners.

The AI Refinery Engineering Hubs are designed to enhance the development and deployment of agentic AI systems at scale. These hubs will focus on the fine-tuning and large-scale inferencing of foundation models, addressing critical challenges such as accuracy, cost, latency, and compliance.

Building on its existing hubs in Mountain View, California, and Bangalore, India, Accenture is adding new hubs in Singapore, Tokyo, Malaga, and London. Each hub will serve as a center of deep engineering expertise, providing the technical capabilities needed to transform large-scale operations and support the AI-powered innovations that will drive the next generation of enterprise solutions.

Global Training Initiative for AI Professionals

The new business group’s global workforce initiative will see 30,000 professionals trained to help businesses integrate and scale enterprise AI with autonomous agents. This marks an important investment in AI innovation, as demand for generative AI technologies drives Accenture’s business forward, contributing $3 billion in bookings in the last fiscal year.

Success Stories of Early Adoption

Several companies have already started adopting agentic AI systems with help from Accenture and Nvidia. One such example is the Indosat Group in Indonesia, which implemented the country’s first sovereign AI system. The system empowers businesses to deploy AI securely while maintaining data governance and regulatory compliance, especially within the financial services sector. This AI integration is expected to bring growth and efficiency to Indonesian banks.

Accenture also plans to roll out its NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprint for virtual facility robot fleet simulation, integrating Nvidia Omniverse, Isaac, and Metropolis software. The blueprint will be implemented at Eclipse Automation, an Accenture-owned manufacturing automation firm, to deliver 50% faster design times and 30% improved efficiency.

Agentic AI in Marketing

In addition to industrial applications, Accenture has incorporated its AI Refinery platform into its own marketing operations. The use of autonomous agents has resulted in significant improvements, including a 25-35% reduction in manual steps and 6% cost savings. These changes are expected to accelerate campaign execution and deliver a 25-55% increase in speed to market.

What This Means for the Industry

The collaboration between Accenture and Nvidia represents a monumental shift toward the widespread adoption of agentic AI systems, which are set to transform enterprise operations. By enabling AI agents to take autonomous actions, businesses can achieve faster, more efficient processes, unlocking new levels of productivity and growth across industries. This partnership will likely accelerate the development of AI-powered solutions worldwide, driving innovation at unprecedented levels.
