CoreWeave, a $19B AI compute provider, opens its first international data centers in the UK

CoreWeave, the cloud computing company that provides companies with AI compute resources, has formally opened its first two data centers in the U.K. — its first outside its domestic U.S. market.

CoreWeave opened its European headquarters in London last May, shortly after earning a $19 billion valuation off the back of a $1.1. billion fundraise. At the same time, the company announced plans to open two data centers as part of a £1 billion ($1.25 billion) investment in the U.K.

Today’s news coincides with a separate announcement from the U.K. government, which details a five-year investment plan to bolster government-owned AI computing capacity as well as geographic “AI Growth Zones,” which includes AI infrastructure from the private sector.
