Microsoft to invest $3.2 billion in Britain

Microsoft plans to invest 2.5 billion pounds ($3.2 billion) in Britain over three years, its largest investment in the country. The funding will double Microsoft's datacentre footprint, supporting AI development. This commitment follows UK's antitrust regulator's approval of Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. The investment includes bringing over 20,000 advanced Graphics Processing Units to Britain and a training plan for AI skills. This will underpin future AI growth in the UK.
