Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang are set to headline a high-profile discussion on artificial intelligence and emerging technologies at a U.S.–Saudi Arabia investment forum in Washington this Wednesday. According to a document reviewed by Reuters, the session will examine the fast-evolving forces driving the next wave of technological innovation, focusing on cutting-edge architectures, AI models, and the strategic investments shaping a more connected global future.
The event comes just one day after Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, widely known as MBS, met with President Donald Trump at the White House. Their meeting underscores accelerating business ties between the United States and Saudi Arabia, as the crown prince makes his first U.S. visit since 2018. Both Musk and Huang also attended a dinner hosted by Trump for the crown prince ahead of the forum.
Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Abdullah Alswaha, will moderate the conversation featuring the two tech leaders. The forum’s agenda also includes participation from major U.S. and global industry CEOs, representing companies such as 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 to attend the November 19 gathering at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
President Trump is scheduled to deliver remarks during the event, which will feature panels spanning artificial intelligence, energy, aerospace, healthcare, finance, and broader technology sectors. The forum follows a series of major investment announcements made in May, when the U.S. and Saudi Arabia revealed billions of dollars in new commitments during Trump’s Middle East visit.
The upcoming discussion highlights the increasing global momentum around AI innovation and the significant role top U.S. and Saudi leaders aim to play in shaping the future of technology-driven growth.
