NVIDIA today announced that it is 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 Trump’s state visit to the U.K., the AI factories will scale up AI infrastructure in the U.K. with 120,000 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs and up to £11 billion for 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.
