Karl Havard, CCO of @nscale, on why AI Sovereignty matters now more than ever. At @RaiseSummit, Karl Havard laid out a powerful framework for sovereign AI adoption, built on three pillars: 🔸 Control: AI deployed on your private cloud, within your infrastructure. 🔸 Compliance: Governed entirely by your national legislation. 🔸 Growth: AI that fuels local economies and directly contributes to GDP. It’s not just about AI capability, it’s about sovereignty, security, and strategic independence.

At the @RaiseSummit 2025, @nscale established itself as a rising leader in AI infrastructure, demonstrating its rapid growth in the hyperscale cloud sector. Founded in 2024, this London-based startup designs, builds, and operates sovereign, sustainable, and modular AI factories that deliver high-performance GPU clusters to accelerate AI cloud services globally. In December 2024, Nscale raised $155 million in Series A funding fueling the expansion of Nscale’s AI-optimised data centres across Europe and North America, including a 60MW, fully renewable-powered facility in Norway. Building on this momentum, Nscale announced a £2 billion investment plan to strengthen the UK’s data centre industry over the next three years. The centerpiece of this plan is a 90MW facility in Loughton, Essex, which will accommodate up to 45,000 @nvidia GB200 GPUs. This project is expected to create 500 construction jobs and 250 permanent positions, reinforcing the UK’s position as a global hub for AI. As an NVIDIA Preferred Cloud Partner supported by strategic alliances across leading OEMs, Nscale will deploy more than 250,000 GPUs over the next three years, powering a hyperscaler engineered for AI, with sovereignty and sustainability at its core. As a proud sponsor of RAISE Summit 2025, Nscale reaffirms its dedication to building sovereign, sustainable, and scalable AI infrastructure. Through its partnership with Europe’s premier AI event, Nscale solidifies its role as a trusted leader, empowering the next wave of AI innovation.
