Cloverleaf Infrastructure has secured a minority investment from NVIDIA through a new strategic partnership to accelerat
Houston and Santa Clara, California, August 21, 2026 — Cloverleaf Infrastructure LLC announced today that it has entered a strategic partnership with NVIDIA, which includes a minority investment from the company to support the expansion of artificial intelligence factories nationwide. Since its founding in 2024, Cloverleaf has advanced a robust development pipeline and delivered multiple GW-scale projects to customers across North America. The collaboration will enable Cloverleaf to help clients and utility partners meet surging demand for accelerated computing by advancing the foundational infrastructure required for AI factory development.
David Berry, Co-Founder and CEO of Cloverleaf, said, "AI is accelerating demand for digital infrastructure at an unprecedented scale and driving strong economic development opportunities for American communities." He added, "This partnership strengthens Cloverleaf's ability to identify and develop high-quality sites that provide the compute power for our country's growth and security. Together, we will help America's businesses and workers gain a critical edge." Nico Caprez, Vice President of Global AI Infrastructure Growth at NVIDIA, stated, "AI factories are the infrastructure of the intelligence age, and land, power and shell are their foundation." He continued, "Cloverleaf brings deep expertise in power and site development to create exceptional, long-lived sites for generations of accelerated computing. Together, we are accelerating the build out of AI infrastructure that will strengthen America's energy infrastructure and power the next wave of innovation."
As computing demand grows, access to powered, shovel-ready sites remains critical for quickly bringing new capacity online. Cloverleaf will apply the NVIDIA DSX Platform to integrate site, power, cooling, computing, and facility decisions earlier in the design phase. This approach helps customers evaluate infrastructure trade-offs and construct AI factories that deliver more useful AI output within available power, water, and grid constraints. Once operational, the NVIDIA DSX infrastructure and software will assist customers in optimizing energy use and computing capacity. Through the partnership, Cloverleaf customers will engage with NVIDIA across the full AI factory stack, including accelerated computing, high-performance networking, infrastructure, platform software, and the DSX system. This integrated method unifies compute, power, cooling, and facility operations so clients can deploy capacity faster, optimize every available megawatt, and generate more useful AI output at scale.
