United Kingdom and the United States They have signed the “Tech Prosperity Deal”a technological agreement that has triggered investments worth 31,000 million pounds (about 35,460 million euros) of the main US technology companies. The pact, announced during the second state visit of Donald Trump to the country, aims to establish a strategic collaboration in artificial intelligence, quantum computing and civil nuclear energy. Among the firms that have opted for the United Kingdom are companies of the caliber of Microsoft, Google, Nvidia and Openaiamong others.
A key strategic moment. The huge amount of investment right at this time has not been coincidence. The “Tech Prosperity Deal” is signed by coinciding with The ceremony at Windsor Castlechaired by King Carlos III, and seeks to boost economic growth, scientific research and energy security in both countries. For the Starmer government, which now has the pressure of recovering years of weak economic growth, the agreement can mean an oxygen ball to position the United Kingdom in an avant -garde country at the technological level.
These types of investments in the country would have been inconceivable a few years ago, and the key to the new friendship between the United States and the United Kingdom is precisely in which the country It does not belong to the European Unionand therefore, there is a much less strict regulation in ia.
Microsoft hit the table. Microsoft investment of 22,000 million pounds (25,334 million euros) includes The construction of the largest supercommer in the United Kingdom In Loughton, northeast of London, developed next to the British firm Nscale. Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, declared that she wanted “to ensure that the United States remains a reliable technological partner for the United Kingdom.” Its president Brad Smith acknowledged the improvement of relations since “the dark days” prior to the approval of the purchase of Blizzard Activision.
The rest is not far behind. Nvidia will deploy 120,000 graphic processing units in what will be its largest European deployment, including up to 60,000 grace blackwell ultra chips with Nscale. David Hogan de Nvidia assured That this “will really turn the United Kingdom into an AI manufacturer, not an AI receiver.” Google maintains its 5,000 million pounds (5,758 million euros) with a new data center in Waltham Cross and continuous support for Deepmind. The list expands With Coreweave (1.5 billion pounds), Salesforce, Scale AI, Blackrock, Oracle and Amazon Web Services, with commitments ranging from hundreds from millions to several billion.
Light regulation. Starmer seeks to position the United Kingdom as an alternative to the regulation of the European Union, opting for the light regulation approach that the United States favors in areas such as AI. This strategy aims attract more American technological investmenttaking advantage of the fact that the United States is already the largest individual commercial partner in the United Kingdom. The Trump administration has criticized During all this time the European digital security laws, so he has found in the United Kingdom a strong partner to expand in Europe.
What comes after. The “Tech Prosperity Deal” also includes joint efforts to develop AI models applied to healthexpand quantum computing capabilities and expedite civil nuclear projects. Starmer said the agreement “has the potential to mold the future of millions of people on both sides of the Atlantic.” The United Kingdom thus consolidates its position as European technological hub, while US companies obtain a strategic platform to expand their AI services in the European market without the EU regulatory restrictions.
