On September 16th, several major American technology companies announced that they will invest over $40 billion to expand the AI infrastructure in the UK. This is seen as a major positive for the UK as it coincides with President Trump's state visit to the country. Microsoft stated on Tuesday that they will invest $30 billion in AI infrastructure and existing operations in the UK by 2028, marking their largest financial commitment in the country. Google also announced that they will invest about $6.8 billion in the UK over the next two years for AI, research and related engineering. Meanwhile, Nvidia, OpenAI, and UK company Nscale are joining forces to build an artificial intelligence infrastructure in the UK to meet OpenAI's computational needs. The project, known as "Stargate UK," is expected to be located in the northeast of the UK and will utilize tens of thousands of Nvidia's Grace Blackwell Ultra graphics processing units. In other investments, AI cloud computing company CoreWeave plans to invest around $2.04 billion in the UK for AI data center capacity and operations. Salesforce also announced that they will reinvest $2 billion in their UK operations by 2030, and BlackRock will invest 500 million in data centers across the UK.
