History
The predecessor to Nebius Group was Yandex N.V., the Dutch parent company of a Russian technology company Yandex, which began as a search engine in 1997.[7] Yandex N.V. was registered as the Dutch parent company in 2007.[8] In May 2011, Yandex raised $1.3 billion in an IPO on the NASDAQ.[9][10] In February 2022, the company's securities were suspended from trading on the NASDAQ due to international sanctions during the Russian invasion of the Ukraine.[11] In July 2024, Yandex N.V. sold all of its Russian assets to a consortium of Russian investors, retaining several businesses that operated outside of Russia.[12] This restructuring led to the creation of Nebius Group, focusing on infrastructure for artificial intelligence, with approximately over 1,000 former Yandex employees.[13] Yandex N.V. changed its name to Nebius Group N.V.,[14] with Arkady Volozh as CEO.[15] In October 2024, Nebius resumed trading on the NASDAQ.[16]
In February 2026, Nebius announced the acquisition of the agentic search company Tavily for around $400 million.[17][18] The same month, the company announced plans to build an AI factory in Birmingham, Alabama. The factory was intended to expand the area's technology and AI industry.[19][20]
On 11 March 2026, Nvidia announced that it will invest $2 billion in Nebius.[21]
Operations
Nebius operates servers and data centers[22] and provides cloud infrastructure for AI developers.[23] In December 2024, Nebius raised $700 million through private investors, including Nvidia (which acquired 0.5% of Nebius) and Accel Partners.[5]
Nebius owns a data center in Mäntsälä, Finland,[24] a GPU cluster at an Equinix data center in Paris,[25][26][27] a GPU cluster at a data center in Kansas City, Missouri, under construction,[28][29] and a 300MW data center in Vineland, New Jersey, under construction.[30]
Nebius also owns Avride and TripleTen,[5] and has stakes in Toloka and Clickhouse.[6]
