This UK launch is the seventh global AI cluster location for Nebius, which further qualifies it as one of the world’s largest independent creators of AI infrastructure.
The company’s AI Cloud, supported by NVIDA’s newest accelerated computing platform, provides supercomputer performance with hyperscaler agility and is designed for the most challenging AI workloads. Nebius is also the first Europe-based company with Reference Platform NVIDIA Cloud Partner status.
In addition to delivering advanced computing power, Nebius’s UK team will focus on specialist projects in the areas of healthcare, biotech and financial services operating at the forefront of AI research.
With this combined approach, set along with substantial recent fund raises (including a $1bn debt raise as well as a $700m equity raise), Nebius is poised to take a leading role in the UK’s growing AI future, not only creating jobs but driving more investment into the U.K. digital economy.
