Nick Clegg and Sheryl Sandberg join board of British AI start-up Nscale
"Over the next five years, artificial intelligence will be integrated into every industry, every product and every job. Accelerating drug discovery, extending human life, automating travel and robotics, lifting productivity and driving massive economic growth. This is leading to the largest infrastructure build-out in human history. Nscale is leading this build-out."
"Nscale secured $2 billion in fresh capital from a consortium of global investors, including the US semiconductor giant Nvidia, significantly boosting the firm's ambitions to build large-scale data centre infrastructure for the rapidly expanding AI industry. The move positions Nscale among the most valuable technology start-ups in Europe and reflects growing investor appetite for the infrastructure that underpins artificial intelligence development."
Nscale, a British artificial intelligence infrastructure start-up founded by entrepreneur John Payne in May 2024, completed a major $2 billion fundraising round led by investors including Nvidia, valuing the company at $14.6 billion. Nick Clegg and Sheryl Sandberg joined the company's board. Nscale focuses on building large-scale data centres required for advanced AI models and cloud computing services. The company plans to invest $2.5 billion in UK data centre infrastructure, including a flagship sovereign AI data centre in Loughton, Essex, expected to be operational by 2026. This positions Nscale among Europe's most valuable technology start-ups and reflects investor confidence in AI infrastructure development.
