CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) said it is committing £1.5B for AI data center capacity and operations in the United Kingdom to power the country’s growth through sustainable computing.
The American AI infrastructure provider said it will bring its total investment in U.K. to £2.5B. In May 2024, the company committed £1B to establish and expand its U.K. operations. That commitment brought two new AI data centers online in six months.
The announcement took place during President Donald Trump’s visit to the U.K. The U.K. and U.S. have agreed to a landmark $42B technology pact called the “Tech Prosperity Deal” to mark Trump’s second state visit to Britain.
As part of the investment, CoreWeave is partnering with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and DataVita in Scotland. The companies will deploy Nvidia’s Grace Blackwell Ultra graphics processing units, or GPUs, backed by renewable energy, and use state-of-the-art closed-loop cooling technology to minimize water consumption.
CoreWeave said this continues its practice of using renewable energy across its European data centers.
CoreWeave is also planning an additional sovereign AI infrastructure deployment with Nvidia GB300 GPUs and Nvidia RTX PRO Blackwell Server Edition GPUs.
Separately, Nvidia said the company, along with Nscale, CoreWeave and others, plan to invest up to £11B in U.K. AI factories with up to 120,000 Blackwell GPUs — representing the largest AI infrastructure rollout in the country’s history — and will power initiatives such as OpenAI’s Stargate U.K.
