LONDON, May 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CoreWeave, the leading specialized cloud provider for AI, today announced that it has opened an office in London as its European headquarters as part of a broader expansion into the continent. The new UK expansion represents a £1 billion investment to bolster the country's AI potential, and will create job opportunities across engineering, operations, finance and go-to-market. CoreWeave plans to open two UK data centres in 2024 with further expansion planned in 2025.

"We are seeing unprecedented demand for AI infrastructure and London is an important AI hub that we are investing in. Expanding our physical footprint in the UK is an important milestone in the next phase of CoreWeave's growth," said Mike Intrator, Cofounder and Chief Executive Officer, CoreWeave.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said: "Companies like CoreWeave are powering the future of AI innovation, and I am proud that they've backed the UK with a £1 billion investment into UK data centres and have established their European headquarters here – further cementing the UK's position as an AI and tech superpower.

"We're leaving no stone unturned to make the UK the best place for pioneering companies like CoreWeave to grow their roots. With the third highest number of AI companies and private investment in AI in the world, it's clear our plan is working."

Secretary of State of Science, Innovation, and Technology, Michelle Donelan said: "CoreWeave's decision to base their European HQ here in London is not just a sign of our tech investment prowess, it is a resounding vote of confidence in our approach to AI and innovation. Today's £1 billion investment will bring two new data centres to our shores, a vital tool in helping to develop the AI breakthroughs of tomorrow.

"It will also lead to new, highly paid jobs and countless opportunities for our brightest AI minds and start-ups as the UK continues to cement its global AI powerhouse credentials. Our message is clear – when it comes to investment, scaling-up, and innovation, the UK is the perfect home from home."
