Nebius Backs UK AI Growth with £1.7B NVIDIA-Powered Buildout
LONDON, June 8, 2026 — Nebius today announced it is investing approximately £1.7 billion to build out capacity in the UK with three new deployments of NVIDIA infrastructure, as the company continues to expand its commercial and AI R&D hub in London.
Nebius launched its first UK deployment of NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra infrastructure in November 2025. The three new sites will also deploy the latest generations of NVIDIA’s full-stack, end-to-end AI factory platform technology. Combined, the deployments will reach 65 MW when fully ramped up in 2027.
Nebius’s build-out in the UK aligns with the UK Government’s AI Opportunities Action Plan and adds domestic compute capacity so British enterprises, researchers, and public services can build and deploy AI at scale.
“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,” said UK AI Minister Kanishka Narayan. “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.”
Nebius is actively hiring engineering and R&D talent in the UK to complement its headquarters in Amsterdam. The company’s London hub is also home to commercial teams for the EMEA region, alongside global industry teams covering critical sectors driving innovation including healthcare and life sciences; retail and e-commerce; and financial services.
Nebius Academy, the company’s education and research arm, is building partnerships with universities and research institutions, and working to tackle the AI skills gap by training the next generation of UK AI pioneers through online and in-person courses.
In addition to UK capacity, Nebius is continuing to expand its full-stack AI cloud platform at the points where customers are building. The recent additions of Tavily, Eigen AI and Clarifai expand the platform’s agentic search and inference capabilities, while Nebius AI Cloud 3.5 added serverless AI for production workloads. Together, these moves position Nebius as the platform of choice for enterprise AI deployments, including agentic AI.
