The relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States has long been more than a matter of diplomacy — it’s a friendship rooted in shared ideals and mutual ambition. Across generations, our countries have stood shoulder to shoulder — economically, politically, and in a shared pursuit of innovation. From the Atlantic Charter to the digital age, the UK and the US have pursued the power of partnership. Today, this alliance enters another new chapter, as we work together to expand access to trusted American technology and strengthen the infrastructure that will drive economic growth and technological advancement in the AI era.
At Microsoft, we’ve had the privilege of being part of this story for more than four decades. And on the eve of President Trump’s state visit hosted by King Charles, Microsoft is proud to reaffirm its deep and enduring commitment to the UK — one that sets a new benchmark for transatlantic technology collaboration.
Today, Microsoft is announcing a $30 billion investment we will make in AI infrastructure and ongoing operations across the United Kingdom during the four years from 2025 through 2028. This marks the largest financial commitment we’ve ever made in the UK. It includes $15 billion in capital expenditures to build out the UK’s cloud and AI infrastructure. This investment will enable us to build the country’s largest supercomputer — with more than 23,000 NVIDIA GPUs — in partnership with Nscale.
