Kao Data, a company focused on developing data centres for AI and advanced computing, has secured a multi-megawatt infrastructure deployment agreement with Nebius, an AI cloud company, at its Harlow data centre campus. The agreement covers 22MW over ten years and is intended to increase AI computing capacity in the UK, including support for academic and research use cases, and aligns with the UK Government’s AI Opportunities Action Plan.
The Harlow campus is positioned as a European hub for large-scale AI research and computing. It will host Nebius’s AI Cloud platform and its managed inference service, Nebius Token Factory. The site is designed for AI-focused workloads and is powered by renewable energy. It also uses advanced cooling systems intended to improve efficiency and reduce resource consumption.
A representative from Kao Data described the agreement as an important development for the company’s portfolio and relevant to the UK’s AI sector. The collaboration reflects demand for UK-based AI infrastructure and Kao Data’s role in providing data centre capacity for AI workloads.
Nebius is expanding its presence in the UK through this partnership, adding capacity for inference workloads and supporting AI development from training through to production deployment. The company is an NVIDIA Cloud Partner and focuses on building an integrated AI cloud platform.
The deployment forms part of Nebius’s reported £1.7 billion UK investment plan and contributes to increasing national compute capacity for AI applications. It is intended to support organisations using AI technologies and related services.
Kao Data’s Harlow campus hosts a concentration of AI and research computing workloads in the UK. It combines data centre infrastructure with sustainability measures, including the use of renewable energy.
The company also has plans for additional developments in West London and Greater Manchester, as well as further capacity expansion at the Harlow site, aimed at increasing available infrastructure for AI and high-performance computing in the UK.
