Blackstone's investment of $13.3bn to build a new "hyperscale" data center in the UK demonstrates a strategic move to enhance AI infrastructure in response to growing demands.
Jon Gray, President of Blackstone, emphasized the UK's attractiveness for investment due to its skilled workforce, innovation, and credible legal framework, which supports long-term investment.
The initiative follows a recent UK classification of data centers as critical national infrastructure, highlighting the country's focus on bolstering its position in the global AI sector.
With a commitment of £110m to local community development alongside the data center project, Blackstone aims to create jobs and support regional growth in Blyth.
