LONDON, June 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — CoreWeave, the AI Hyperscaler™, today announced it will invest $2.2 billion to expand and open three new data centers in continental Europe before the end of 2025. This expansion is part of CoreWeave’s long-term strategy to provide best-in-class advanced compute solutions, including NVIDIA’s Blackwell platform and NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking, for the industry’s most innovative technology companies and AI leaders. Today’s announcement builds on CoreWeave’s previously announced $1.3 billion investment in the UK, bringing the total investment in the region to $3.5 billion.

CoreWeave continues to scale rapidly to meet the surge in global demand for accelerated compute solutions that are critical for training and serving the most sophisticated AI models. The Company’s European footprint has been carefully designed to meet the regulatory and operational demands of the region, ensuring low-latency performance across all AI workloads and providing a data-sovereign cloud for both European and UK customers. When combined with CoreWeave’s differentiated tech stack, this offering makes CoreWeave the partner of choice for European AI developers, labs and enterprises that are looking to create the most sophisticated AI applications.

This expansion will also help CoreWeave better serve its existing customers who are looking to expand their international footprint and provide critical computing power to accelerate AI progress across the region. The three new data centers will be powered by 100% renewable energy, and will create job opportunities across the region. CoreWeave is hiring across several key roles, including in engineering, operations, finance and go-to-market positions.

“Europe represents the next frontier for the AI industry and is an important milestone in the next phase of CoreWeave’s growth,” said Mike Intrator, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoreWeave. “We see enormous opportunity for CoreWeave in Europe – CoreWeave’s GPU infrastructure will provide the European cloud market the computing solutions and tools needed to meet the growing demand for next generation AI applications. We see this as the first of what we hope to be several significant investments in the region as we continue to activate our vision of being the global AI hyperscaler of choice.”

“CoreWeave’s investments in Sweden will bolster critical AI infrastructure,” said Johan Forssell, Swedish Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade. “This is exactly the kind of infrastructure and data power that is a precondition for innovative companies in AI. We need to make sure Sweden and Europe take part in building these facilities in order to put us at the forefront of driving economic growth, innovation and productivity. This is also a huge vote of confidence in the Swedish technology sector and I am proud that the Swedish investment climate is attracting pioneering companies like CoreWeave.”

“I am pleased that significant investments into AI infrastructure are being made on Norwegian ground,” said Karianne Tung, Norwegian minister of Digitalization. “Hopefully this will contribute to more development and use of AI in Norway. As minister of digitalization, I am optimistic about the power of technology. Commercially based access to AI and supercomputing is one of the ways in which Norwegian business and industry can utilize this technology. Private investment into our technological infrastructure bolsters our position as a hub for technological development and AI. I am confident that this AI initiative will result in synergies between the investors and the thriving AI research and development environments in Norway.”

“The NVIDIA Blackwell platform and NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking, available through CoreWeave’s platform, will help set a new standard for AI performance in Europe by making supercomputing more accessible,” said Jaap Zuiderveld, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Europe, the Middle East and India at NVIDIA. “NVIDIA’s full-stack accelerated computing platform will empower companies with the performance needed to achieve rapid advancements in generative AI at scale.”

Today’s announcement builds on CoreWeave’s significant momentum from the Company’s recent UK expansion, $7.5 billion debt financing facility led by Blackstone Tactical Opportunities, a landmark $1.1 billion Series C in May 2024, and a $2.3 billion debt financing facility in August 2023. The three planned new data centers will add to CoreWeave’s two data centers based in the UK.

Chelsea FC name fast-growing fintech platform as Principal Partner

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chelsea Football Club has today announced a multi-year partnership with Sokin, the embedded finance and payments company used by businesses worldwide. Sokin will be named a Principal Partner and Official Business Payments and FX Partner of Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women.

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

The Sokin logo will feature on the sleeve of the Chelsea shirt for the first time [when the men’s team host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24th October.]

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

About Sokin

Sokin is the financial layer global business runs on. Businesses can transact, convert and hold money in 70+ currencies across 170+ countries. Some businesses use Sokin to manage global finance in-house. Others build it into their products to power financial experiences for their customers.

About Chelsea Football Club

Chelsea Football Club is one of the biggest, most successful football clubs globally and our men’s team are reigning world champions, having won the four-yearly FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. Our women’s team, Chelsea Women, are also multiple trophy winners.

Founded in 1905, Chelsea is London’s most central football club, based at the iconic 40,000-capacity Stamford Bridge stadium. Nicknamed the Blues, the club lifted the Champions League for the first time in 2012 and domestically has won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup eight times, the Football League Cup five times and the Football League Championship once, in 1955.

The Chelsea Women’s team have enjoyed a huge amount of success and in 2025 won the FA Women’s Super League for a sixth consecutive year and the eighth time overall. The Women’s FA Cup has been won on six occasions. We have also captured the FA Women’s League Cup four times as well as reaching the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in 2021.
