OpenAI and Nvidia chiefs to join Trump state visit amid planned multibillion-dollar UK data centre pledges

Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, and Jensen Huang, chief executive of Nvidia, are reported to be part of a US executive delegation accompanying President Donald Trump to Britain next week and are expected to announce multibillion-dollar investments in UK data centres.

The report, citing Bloomberg and published by the Daily Mail on Sept. 12, 2025, said the executives are working with London-based data centre company Nscale Global Holdings on the planned spending pledge. Details on the size, timing and exact locations of the investments were not disclosed in the report.

The announcement is expected to be one of several US business investment pledges timed to coincide with the state visit, according to the report. The delegation is said to include other American executives who will participate in engagements with British officials during the trip.

Data centres are central to cloud computing and artificial intelligence workloads, and investment in such facilities has accelerated globally as demand for processing power and storage has grown. London and other parts of the UK have sought to attract such projects for their economic benefits, including jobs and associated infrastructure spending.

Nscale Global Holdings is a London-based data centre developer that has been involved in projects across the UK. The Bloomberg report did not provide a breakdown of Nscale’s role in the planned investments beyond noting its involvement in the project alongside the US executives.

The report did not include immediate confirmation from OpenAI, Nvidia or Nscale Global, nor did it say that the UK government had formally announced the investment commitments. Government and company statements are commonly released to coincide with diplomatic visits, and such announcements can cover a range of sectors and investment types.

The planned pledges come amid heightened global interest in supporting AI infrastructure. Policymakers in the UK have emphasized securing investment that supports technology growth while balancing energy, planning and environmental considerations associated with large-scale data-centre developments.

It was not possible from the reporting to confirm the precise amount described as “billions of dollars,” or to identify the companies beyond those named in the Bloomberg account. Additional details, including timelines for construction and the extent of public or private partnerships, were not disclosed in the accounts published on Friday.
