Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang are set to take part in a high-profile discussion on artificial intelligence and technology at a U.S.-Saudi Arabia investment forum in Washington on Wednesday. The event comes a day after Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) met with President Donald Trump at the White House. The discussion will explore the emerging forces driving the next wave of technological progress, including AI architectures, models, and investments shaping a more intelligent and interconnected future. It will be moderated by Saudi Minister of Communications and Information Technology Abdullah Alswaha.
Why It Matters
The forum highlights growing business and technology ties between the United States and Saudi Arabia. Musk and Huang, as leaders of two of the world’s most influential technology companies, will be at the center of conversations on AI — a sector increasingly shaping global markets, national competitiveness, and innovation policy. Their participation signals Saudi Arabia’s ambition to position itself as a hub for advanced technology investment.
The event will feature a range of CEOs and senior executives, including representatives from Chevron, Palantir, Aramco, Qualcomm, Cisco, Adobe, General Dynamics, and Pfizer. Senior executives from Blackstone, Boeing, IBM, Google, Salesforce, Supermicro, Lockheed Martin, Saudia Group, Andreessen Horowitz, Halliburton, State Street, and Parsons Corp are also expected. President Trump will deliver remarks, emphasizing the U.S.-Saudi economic partnership.
What’s Next
The forum will cover panels on artificial intelligence, energy, technology, aerospace, health care, and finance. It is expected to facilitate new business deals and investment announcements, continuing the momentum from the U.S.-Saudi investment agreements announced earlier this year. The event represents a key moment in both countries’ efforts to deepen technological, financial, and strategic collaboration.
