KKR, NVIDIA, Kuwait Launch $10B AI Infrastructure Platform

A consortium led by KKR, the Kuwait Investment Authority, NVIDIA and Vistra have launched Helix Digital Infrastructure, a new company designed to address growing demand for integrated AI infrastructure solutions by combining data center, power and connectivity development under a single platform. 

Helix launches with more than $10 billion in capital commitments from its founding investors and will seek to develop, acquire and manage infrastructure assets critical to supporting artificial intelligence workloads. 

NVIDIA will serve as a strategic partner, supporting deployment of NVIDIA DSX AI factory-aligned infrastructure with a focus on maximizing computing efficiency and tokens generated per watt of energy consumed. Vistra, one of the nation’s largest integrated power producers, will serve as the preferred power provider for Helix investments. 

The company will be led by Adam Selipsky, former CEO of Amazon Web Services, while Waldemar Szlezak, KKR’s global head of digital infrastructure, will serve as chief investment officer. 

“Large users of digital infrastructure have an urgent need to reduce complexity and unlock new capacity,” said Selipsky. “Helix combines significant long-term capital with the capabilities and expertise to deliver holistic AI infrastructure solutions with speed and scale.” 

The launch builds on KKR’s growing commitment to digital infrastructure and energy investments. The firm’s global infrastructure platform manages more than $100 billion in assets, including over $70 billion invested across digital infrastructure and power-related assets. Following the initial close, Helix will be open to additional eligible institutional investors.
