U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s vision for Britain as an “AI maker, not an AI taker,” takes shape at London Tech Week with NVIDIA’s support in building sovereign compute infrastructure, fostering AI leadership, and hosting the U.K. Sovereign AI Industry Forum.

London Tech Week sees leading U.K. businesses, including Babcock, BAE Systems, BT, National Grid, and Standard Chartered, joining forces to enhance economic security by advancing sovereign AI infrastructure and boosting the U.K. AI startup ecosystem.

The U.K. emerges as a global AI hub, leading Europe in newly funded AI startups and total private AI investment through 2024, with over $28 billion invested since 2013, benefiting the entire U.K. economy.

Cloud providers Nscale and Nebius commit to deploying U.K. AI infrastructure with thousands of NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs to position the U.K. as a global AI leader, supporting innovation, job creation, and a thriving domestic AI ecosystem.

NVIDIA supports the U.K. government’s national skills drive by establishing an AI Technology Center to train developers in AI, data science, and accelerated computing, driving cutting-edge AI applications and research across industries.

The U.K. government collaborates with NVIDIA to promote AI development in telecoms, providing leading U.K. universities access to powerful AI tools, 6G research platforms, and training resources to advance research and development on AI-native wireless networks.

Universities in the U.K., supported by NVIDIA technologies, drive AI development and safety advancements, with projects like the JADE consortium, digital twin of the human body, Isambard-AI supercomputer, and pollution-flow models, enhancing progress in AI safety, climate modeling, and next-generation science.

U.K. tech leaders leverage NVIDIA’s foundational technologies to innovate across sectors, from autonomous vehicles to climate risk mitigation, and from generative AI to drug discovery, with NVIDIA Inception supporting ambitious AI startups in building new products and services.

Leading U.K. companies like BT, LSEG, and NatWest are driving industry transformation with AI, from autonomous operations to highly accurate data insights, streamlining operations, and enhancing customer safety.

With government support, talent, and cutting-edge tech, the U.K. is making significant strides in AI advancement at home and on a global scale, positioning itself among leaders in the field.
