The new UK–US partnership will harness joint expertise in evolving technologies to deliver real-world benefits, from accelerating drug discovery with AI and quantum computing to provide patients with faster access to life-saving treatments, to advancing clean energy through a streamlined civil nuclear deal that reduces reliance on fossil fuels and creates high-value jobs. At the same time, major investment in AI infrastructure as well as a new Growth Zone in the North East will unlock billions in funding, drive innovation for local businesses, and open up new opportunities for growth across both nations.

America’s top tech and AI firms are committing £31 billion to reinforce UK’s AI infrastructure, building on the £44 billion already invested under the current government. Microsoft leads with a record $30 billion (£22 billion) investment to expand UK cloud and AI infrastructure, including the country’s largest supercomputer with over 23,000 GPUs. Google is opening a new data center in Hertfordshire as part of a £5 billion UK investment, expected to support 8,250 jobs annually. CoreWeave will invest £1.5 billion in data center capacity, joining with Scotland’s DataVita to build one of Europe’s largest renewable-powered AI data centers.

Additional commitments include Salesforce, investing $2 billion (£1.4 billion) to make the UK its AI hub for Europe; AI Pathfinder, with £1 billion for new AI compute capacity; and NVIDIA, providing fresh capital to help UK start-ups scale globally. Scale AI will invest £39 million while expanding its London HQ, and BlackRock is putting £500 million into enterprise data centers.

Together, these investments will accelerate innovation, generate high-skilled jobs, and solidify the UK’s position as a global leader in AI and technology.
