NVIDIA has unveiled a landmark £11 billion investment to accelerate the U.K.’s AI industrial revolution, partnering with CoreWeave, Microsoft, and Nscale to deploy the country’s largest-ever AI infrastructure rollout. By 2026, the initiative will deliver 120,000 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs to U.K. data centers, powering projects like OpenAI’s Stargate U.K. and advancing the nation’s sovereign AI goals.

Nscale will also scale globally with 300,000 Grace Blackwell GPUs, including 60,000 in the U.K., strengthening its AI infrastructure leadership. Microsoft plans to build the U.K.’s most powerful supercomputer in Loughton with 24,000 Blackwell GPUs on Azure, while CoreWeave is establishing a renewable energy-powered data center in Scotland.

Beyond infrastructure, NVIDIA is advancing quantum computing partnerships with Oxford Quantum Circuits, SEEQC, and the University of Edinburgh to integrate GPUs with quantum processors. Collaborations with techUK, Quanser, and QA will also upskill developers and strengthen the robotics and AI ecosystem through the NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute and DGX Cloud access.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer hailed the move as a decisive step toward making the U.K. a world leader in AI, driving jobs, investment, and public service transformation. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang called the initiative “the big bang of intelligence,” positioning the U.K. to thrive in the new AI-driven economy.
