World Wide Technology (WWT) plans to secure up to £225m (US$303m) worth of computing power hosted in Europe to supply a select group of growing AI startups over the next six years.
It will do this through a new programme called InfiniteAI, which is designed to bring the European AI supply chain together by connecting start-ups, sovereign neocloud infrastructure and global enterprises.
A physical anchor for European AI
The centre will "serve as the physical heartbeat of the ecosystem and as a neutral ground for ideas to become real businesses", WWT says. It will feature an Executive Briefing Centre, AI Experience Zone, Partner Showcase Pods, Innovation Workshop Studio, Training and Certification Lab, and a Networking Space.
