NVIDIA announced on November 3, 2026, with partners, the expansion of physical and agentic AI services for cities worldwide, covering resident assistance, traffic management, urban planning and industrial operations. The projects combine shared computing infrastructure, AI agents and digital twins, while keeping local governments in control of sensitive data processing and use.
The push builds on EMEA city initiatives announced on October 14, 2026, and adds projects in the San Francisco Bay Area, Malaysia, Nigeria, Taiwan and Morocco, alongside work in Spain and Poland. Shared infrastructure is meant to give city departments, neighboring municipalities and local developers a common foundation, so each organization does not need to acquire and manage its own resources. According to NVIDIA, an RTX workstation or a small GPU system may be enough to start, depending on the workload.
In Spain, 1MillionBot combines open-source ALIA models trained at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center with NVIDIA Nemotron and other models in agents for Madrid Digital and Administració Oberta de Catalunya, with more than 150 deployments, handling municipal procedures, appointment requests, urban-planning incidents and service inquiries. LiveX announced AI City on November 3, 2026, with life-size AI Hosts for navigation, personalized recommendations and conversational assistance in airports, hospitals, stores and other public venues, at more than 100 customer sites, running on NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs.
In vision and operations, K2K in Wrocław, Poland, is building shared infrastructure with NVIDIA accelerated computing, Cosmos world reasoning models and the Metropolis VSS blueprint, turning existing camera streams into operational information for mobility, safety and event response. In Malaysia, ITMAX's SamurAI V2 vision agents are scaling on RTX PRO 6000 GPUs toward support for more than 17,000 cameras by 2027, with signal-timing tests reducing peak-hour corridor travel times by up to 26%. Linker Vision unveiled Linker AI Nexa, connecting real-time city data with government standard operating procedures, and reports simulating 15-year canopy, shade and thermal-comfort outcomes for an urban forest in 10 minutes, compared with about two weeks per iteration before.
For critical infrastructure, Honeywell's Forge Plant Cognition at Dangote's Lekki refinery in Nigeria uses Nemotron-powered agents to interpret operational data, with an Omniverse-based digital twin planned for simulation and training. At Morocco's Tanger Med port, Cires Technologies is expanding a sovereign AI factory for worker safety, congestion analysis, cargo routing and port operations. The next test will be expanding this shared foundation across departments and municipalities while preserving local data control and clear responsibility for AI-driven actions.
