The UK and US are set to sign a multibillion-dollar technology pact during President Donald Trump’s state visit, strengthening cooperation in artificial intelligence, semiconductors, telecoms and quantum computing, Reuters reported.
The agreement will bring together senior US tech leaders, including Nvidia’s Jensen Huang and OpenAI’s Sam Altman, with British officials to boost investment, innovation and supply chain security.
As part of the deal, BlackRock will invest about $700m in UK data centres. UK Technology Secretary Liz Kendall called the pact transformative, saying it will drive growth and ensure both nations stay at the forefront of emerging technologies.
According to Reuters, the partnership follows new AI strategies launched by both governments this year and reflects expanding US tech investment in Britain.
