United Kingdom: Department for Science, Innovation and Technology adopted the Compute roadmap focusing on Artificial Intelligence infrastructure

On 17 July 2025, the UK's Department for Science, Innovation and Technology adopted the Compute roadmap, committing up to GBP 2 billion by 2030 to build a sovereign, sustainable, and world-class Artificial Intelligence (AI) compute infrastructure. The plan applies to AI developers, data centre operators, and research institutions, aiming to triple UK AI-capable data centre capacity to at least 6 gigawatts by 2030 through establishing national supercomputing centres and AI growth zones. Key measures include building a new national supercomputer in Edinburgh, expanding the AI Research Resource, promoting low-carbon energy solutions including renewables and advanced nuclear, supporting UK-based compute innovation, and ensuring secure, mission-driven compute allocation.
