A lucky bet and unlimited coffee: How Nvidia became the world's most valuable company

Name any major tech brand - from Google to Amazon to Tesla to ChatGPT - and the chances are Nvidia is involved in some way. The company - which makes computer chips - may not be a household name in the UK, but it has just leapfrogged Microsoft and Apple to become the most valuable public company in the world. It is now worth more than $3.3tn - with its share price up by almost 600,000% from when it first traded on the US stock market back in 1999.

Clever bet Engineers realised that the chips were able to perform calculations in ways regular CPUs could not - making them more energy efficient and better able to handle sophisticated computing tasks. So by the mid-2000s Nvidia began marketing its products at other types of tech firms, before then branching out further by investing heavily in artificial intelligence in the 2010s. One example was car companies - which soon turned to the firm for help with driver-assistance software.
