NEW YORK — The global consulting firm Accenture formed the NVIDIA Business Group after reporting $3 billion in annual AI bookings.
The move includes training 30,000 employees for the group to help clients scale enterprise AI adoption with AI agents and drive “new levels of productivity and growth,” according to Accenture today.
The group is based on Accenture’s expanded strategic partnership with the Santa Clara, California-based AI hardware and software maker NVIDIA.
Accenture intends for its agentic AI systems to “act on the intent of the user, create new workflows and take appropriate actions based on their environment that can re-invent entire processes or functions.”
Accenture NVIDIA Business Group will use Accenture AI Refinery, a technical framework for clients to build custom large language models (LLMs) with open-source Llama foundation models by Meta.

AI Refinery also uses the NVIDIA AI stack — including NVIDIA AI Foundry, NVIDIA AI Enterprise and NVIDIA Omniverse — for several objectives, such as process re-invention, AI-powered simulation and sovereign AI.
Accenture AI Refinery will be available on public and private cloud platforms and integrate with other Accenture business groups to help clients “accelerate AI” across software and cloud ecosystems.
Accenture plans to also debut an NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprint for virtual facility robot fleet simulation — which integrates NVIDIA Omniverse, Isaac and Metropolis software — to help industrial companies build autonomous and robot-operated software-defined factories and facilities.
“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 re-invention,” said Julie Sweet, chair and CEO, Accenture.
Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, added that AI will “supercharge enterprises to scale innovation at greater speed.”
