Nebius Group N.V.

The predecessor to Nebius Group was Yandex N.V., the Dutch parent company of Russian technology company Yandex, which began as a search engine in 1997. Yandex N.V. was registered as the Dutch parent company in 2007. In May 2011, Yandex raised $1.3 billion in an IPO on the NASDAQ. In February 2022, the company's securities were suspended from trading on the NASDAQ due to international sanctions during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. 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. This restructuring led to the creation of Nebius Group, focusing on infrastructure for artificial intelligence, with approximately over 1,000 former Yandex employees. Yandex N.V. changed its name to Nebius Group N.V., with Arkady Volozh as CEO. In October 2024, Nebius resumed trading on the NASDAQ.

In February 2026, Nebius announced the acquisition of the agentic search company Tavily for around $400 million. 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.

On 11 March 2026, Nvidia announced that it will invest $2 billion in Nebius.
