LONDON - Nvidia, the semiconductor giant with a market capitalization of $4.25 trillion and impressive revenue growth of 71.55% in the last twelve months, announced Tuesday it is working with partners including CoreWeave, Microsoft and Nscale to build the United Kingdom’s next generation of AI infrastructure with an investment of up to £11 billion. According to InvestingPro, the company maintains an excellent Financial Health Score of 3.77, reflecting its strong position for such major investments.

The initiative will deploy 120,000 Nvidia Blackwell Ultra GPUs in UK data centers by the end of 2026, marking the largest such rollout in the country’s history, according to the company’s press release statement.

UK-based AI infrastructure company Nscale will deploy 60,000 Nvidia GPUs in the UK as part of a larger global expansion involving 300,000 Grace Blackwell GPUs across facilities in the United States, Portugal and Norway.

Nscale, OpenAI and Nvidia are establishing "Stargate UK," which will feature Blackwell Ultra GPUs in Nscale’s UK data centers. OpenAI is expected to use this infrastructure to serve its models, including GPT-5.

Microsoft and Nscale also plan to build what they describe as the UK’s most powerful supercomputer in Loughton, featuring over 24,000 Nvidia Grace Blackwell Ultra GPUs to provide Microsoft Azure services.

Additionally, CoreWeave announced it will establish a data center in Scotland equipped with Grace Blackwell Ultra GPUs powered by renewable energy.

The announcement comes three months after UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced their collaboration during London Tech Week.

Nvidia is also partnering with Oxford Quantum Circuits to build a quantum-GPU AI supercomputing center and collaborating with techUK to launch an R&D hub aimed at accelerating the nation’s AI and robotics ecosystem.

"The United Kingdom is building the infrastructure for the AI industrial revolution — advancing science, transforming industries and creating new economic opportunities," said Huang in the announcement. With a current ratio of 4.21 and operating with moderate debt levels, Nvidia’s robust financial position supports its ambitious expansion plans.

In other recent news, Nvidia’s latest AI chip for the Chinese market, the RTX6000D, is experiencing lukewarm demand as major tech firms are hesitant to place orders. The chip, designed mainly for AI inference tasks, is considered expensive compared to its performance, with testing showing it lags behind the U.S.-banned RTX5090 available through grey market channels at a lower price. Meanwhile, Nvidia has entered into a significant $6.3 billion cloud computing agreement with CoreWeave, allowing the latter to sell reserved cloud computing capacity to its customers while providing Nvidia access to any unsold capacity. Additionally, Nvidia is scaling back its DGX Cloud business to focus more on internal use rather than competing with external cloud service providers like Amazon Web Services. These developments come amid strong momentum in the semiconductor sector, although Nvidia’s stock price movement is not covered in this report.
