LONDON, Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NVIDIA today announced that it is investing in accelerating the AI industrial revolution in the United Kingdom, working with partners including CoreWeave, Microsoft and Nscale to build the nation's next generation of AI infrastructure. By the end of 2026, the companies will build and operate AI factories that will serve leading AI models, including those from OpenAI, to enable the U.K.'s sovereign AI goals for building a platform to power innovation, growth and opportunity across the economy.

Unveiled three months after U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang announced a collaboration at London Tech Week, this new infrastructure will foster new job opportunities and support strong, secure and sustainable economic growth across the U.K, as well as serve as a platform for groundbreaking research in priority areas agreed in the U.K.-U.S. tech partnership, including medicine and drug discovery. Unveiled in honor of transatlantic technology and trade partnership during U.S. President Donald Trump's state visit to the U.K., the AI factories will add an up to £11 billion investment in the U.K. with 120,000 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs to local data centers — the largest rollout in the country's history. Furthermore, NVIDIA is enabling U.K. cloud partner Nscale to scale up its global expansion with 300,000 NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GPUs worldwide.

"The United Kingdom is building the infrastructure for the AI industrial revolution — advancing science, transforming industries and creating new economic opportunities," said Huang. "We are at the big bang of intelligence, and the United Kingdom's Goldilocks ecosystem of world-class expertise, outstanding universities and vibrant industries is uniquely positioned to thrive in the age of AI. With AI supercomputers powering state-of-the-art models locally, a new generation of U.K. researchers, developers and entrepreneurs will drive discovery and build the companies of tomorrow."

"In this age of AI, I want the U.K. to be the destination of choice for companies at the forefront of technological change, and renowned for harnessing homegrown talent and building sovereign capability," said Starmer. "These major announcements mark a decisive step towards the U.K. becoming a world leader in AI, meaning more jobs and investment, more money in people's pockets and transformed public services — all part of our Plan for Change."

Sovereign AI Infrastructure Expands to Accelerate U.K. Development and Deployments

Several new AI factories are being built by NVIDIA partners to transform the nation's economy and unlock opportunities with AI.

NVIDIA Cloud Partner Nscale, the U.K.-based AI infrastructure company, is deploying 300,000 NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GPUs in AI factories across the United States, Portugal and Norway, with 60,000 NVIDIA GPUs now being established in the U.K.

Nscale, OpenAI and NVIDIA are establishing Stargate U.K., which will feature NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs operating in Nscale's U.K. data centers by 2026, bringing the most advanced U.S. technology to transform the nation's economy and unlock opportunities with AI. OpenAI is expected to use this NVIDIA infrastructure to serve its models — including its latest and most advanced reasoning model, GPT-5.
