U.K.-based AI infrastructure provider Sovereign AI said on Wednesday that it has teamed with Accenture (ACN) and Palantir Technologies (PLTR) to help build its next-generation data centers throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Accenture shares were fractionally higher in premarket trading, while Palantir shares fell 1.8%.
Also known as S-AI, the U.K. company said the deal will help accelerate the development and deployment of its Dell (DELL) AI Factory and Nvidia (NVDA)-powered capabilities. The data centers are capable of supporting AI workloads and help secure high-performing operations for regulated industries, the company added in a statement.
Palantir will provide its operating system for AI infrastructure, known as Chain Reaction, while Accenture will aid with the digital transformation, operational support, and delivery.
“Palantir Chain Reaction software is a key advantage in the buildout of AI infrastructure—not only as an operating system for business expansion, but also for delivering enterprise AI capabilities to key verticals,” said Kevin Kawasaki, global head of business development at Palantir.
“Digital and economic security now require sovereign AI designed for efficient inference,” Nvidia executive Justin Boitano added. “S-AI’s collaboration with Accenture, Dell Technologies, Palantir, and NVIDIA sets the blueprint for deploying AI factories engineered to generate tokens at scale—and turn efficient inference directly into revenue.”
S-AI added that it eventually plans to bring its AI data centers to the Asia Pacific region as well.
