UK launches £14B cloud framework to boost SME participation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The UK government has launched a £14 billion cloud framework aimed at increasing the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This initiative seeks to ensure that smaller businesses have a more significant role in public sector cloud services. Additionally, the framework will support the deployment of large-scale AI systems, including those utilizing Nvidia's HGX B300 systems, and foster competition within the cloud market. AI

IMPACT This framework could accelerate AI adoption in the UK public sector by providing dedicated funding and infrastructure, while also promoting competition among cloud providers.
