The Stargate initiative, a $500 billion AI infrastructure project backed by OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle, is evaluating potential international expansions, with the United Kingdom emerging as a strong contender.
The UK’s appeal lies in Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s pro-innovation regulatory stance and efforts to improve access to electricity for data centers.
This move aligns with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s interest in extending Stargate-like programs into Europe, aiming to maintain a competitive advantage in AI technology.
