A new AI data centre is set to open in Chelveston, Northamptonshire, focusing on complex healthcare and logistics applications. Work on the facility is scheduled to start in December. The project is part of a wider plan to develop 2GW of supercomputing capacity across the UK.
The development aligns with recent government initiatives to strengthen AI research and drug discovery, including a £31bn agreement with US technology firms. AI Pathfinder, the company behind the project, operates multiple sites in the UK and has experience managing complex technology projects.
Separately, US logistics firm Prologis will invest over £900m to expand the Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal. The expansion aims to increase national rail freight capacity, reduce road transport reliance, and support job creation.
