Nebius has announced plans to invest approximately £1.7 billion to expand its operations across the United Kingdom. The investment will add more NVIDIA-powered infrastructure while strengthening the company’s commercial and AI research presence in London.
Expanding NVIDIA-powered infrastructure Across the UK
The AI cloud company launched its first UK deployment of NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra infrastructure in November 2025. Now, Nebius plans to add three new deployments using NVIDIA’s latest full-stack AI factory platform technology. Once fully operational in 2027, the four sites will deliver a combined capacity of 65 MW.
The expansion aligns with the UK Government’s AI Opportunities Action Plan. In addition, it will increase domestic compute resources for enterprises, researchers, and public services developing AI applications at scale.
UK AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said:
“We’re determined to make the UK the best place in the world to build and deploy AI – backing the infrastructure businesses, researchers and public services need to put this technology to work.”
“Nebius’s investment brings significant AI compute into the UK, giving companies what they need to train, test and run advanced systems here at home – helping drive productivity by rolling AI out widely across the economy.”
Arkady Volozh, founder and CEO of Nebius, said:
“The UK is one of the places where AI is being built, deployed, and adopted at the same time — by startups, by enterprises, and by the public sector. The work is happening here and the demand is here. And we are also here for the long run.”
Paolo Guglielmini, Vice President EMEA at NVIDIA, said:
“The UK is one of Europe’s most ambitious AI markets, with a clear public policy framework and a strong base of innovators. Nebius is expanding local access to NVIDIA’s full-stack AI factory platform, giving British companies the best performance, economics, and ecosystem support to train and deploy frontier and open-source AI close to their data, customers and teams.”
British companies are already using Nebius for production workloads. Revolut has rebuilt its AI stack on the platform and uses Nebius Token Factory to power financial crime prevention agents and customer support systems that process more than one million tickets each month.
Pavel Nesterov, Executive Director of AI at Revolut, said:
“We rebuilt Revolut’s AI stack around production reliability and inference economics. Nebius gives us the scale to run training and inference for 75 million customers, with the operational discipline a regulated financial institution requires. The Nebius Token Factory work in particular has changed what we can deploy and what it costs to deploy.”
Nebius also supports companies backed by the UK Sovereign AI Fund. Among them is Prima Mente, which develops AI technologies aimed at addressing neurological diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Ravi Solanki, founder and CEO of Prima Mente, said:
“Training multi-billion parameter biological foundation models needs sustained, local infrastructure. Nebius’s expansion in the UK means we can run more experiments, more reliably, and move treatments for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s into the pipeline faster.”
Furthermore, Nebius continues to hire engineering and R&D talent across the UK. Its London hub supports commercial operations throughout EMEA and key sectors such as healthcare, life sciences, retail, e-commerce, and financial services.
The company is also expanding Nebius Academy partnerships with universities and research institutions. These efforts aim to address the AI skills gap and support future innovation. Meanwhile, recent additions including Tavily, Eigen AI, Clarifai, and Nebius AI Cloud 3.5 further enhance the platform’s capabilities for enterprise AI and agentic AI deployments worldwide.
