\u201cThe only person I\u2019d ever seen write like that was Mark [Zuckerberg],\u201d Sandberg tells Fortune.<\/em> \u201cIt was so clear, so thorough, but so big in its vision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Payne wants Nscale to become the \u201cfoundation layer\u201d beneath the global AI market. He got Sandberg on board, along with former UK Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and former \u00adYahoo president Susan Decker. \u201cI wanted a board that had experience building a trillion-dollar company,\u201d says Payne, \u201cbecause I believe that we can do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This board was another step in Nscale\u2019s breakneck climb to the top of the UK\u2019s AI scene. In just two years, the company has gone from a crypto-mining spinout to one of the most prominent companies in Europe\u2019s AI data center push.<\/p>\n

The company builds and operates computer centers and rents the processing power to firms that need to train and run large AI models. As Europe scrambles to close the gap with the U.S. in AI computing capacity, Nscale has become a vital part of the region\u2019s bid to become a global player.<\/p>\n

Such companies are being dubbed \u201cneoclouds\u201d: providers that build or finance AI-ready data centers and rent the computing power to anyone who needs it\u2014from AI labs to governments. (Other well-known neoclouds include CoreWeave and Nebius.) Nscale\u2019s pitch is that it locks in long-term access to cheap renewable energy, building its own data centers, and owning the hardware and \u00adsoftware stack on top. <\/p>\n

Like most neoclouds, Nscale is also piling on debt to fund its build-out. Since the start of 2026, the company has taken on a $1.4\u00a0billion GPU-backed loan and a $790\u00a0million financing facility in Norway. The only public \u00adaccounts on record, covering the early stages of the business from seven months to December 2024, show a $24 million loss.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Huge demand for data centers has made Nscale one of the most closely watched newcomers in Europe\u2019s AI efforts, but it has also faced questions about whether its rapid rise and $14.6 billion valuation are built on solid foundations.<\/p>\n

A rapid rise<\/h2>\n

Spun out of Arkon Energy in 2024, Nscale has become one of Europe\u2019s best-funded AI bets.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Nscale has raised almost $4 billion from companies including Dell, Nokia, and Nvidia; signed sweeping contracts with several tech giants; and been dubbed a \u201cnational champion for AI infrastructure\u201d by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. This year it closed a $2\u00a0billion Series\u00a0C round at a $14.6\u00a0billion valuation, one of the largest amounts ever raised at this stage by a European company.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Nscale\u2019s rapid rise has, in part, been bound up with Europe\u2019s anxiety around its lagging AI build-out. But the company has plans for sites across the U.S. and has leaned heavily on American technology giants and customers for investment and reputation. Payne describes his ambitions as global and believes Nscale could become \u201cthe next great AI platform.\u201d While today it may be a \u201cpicks and shovels\u201d infrastructure company, he wants to move up the stack to deliver services.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sandberg, meanwhile, defines her role as guiding the startup through the kind of global scaling challenge she has seen before. Her focus is on helping Payne build the company without slowing it down. She is advising on how to hire and structure teams and working to establish \u201cthe right systems that create the right controls.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nscale\u2019s growth has required more than money and high-profile board members, however. It has also depended on proximity to the companies controlling the AI supply chain, particularly Nvidia.<\/p>\n

The chipmaker is both an investor and a strategic partner, a relationship that has cemented Nscale\u2019s reputation. Huang has been explicit about Nvidia\u2019s role in this. \u201cNeoclouds wouldn\u2019t exist\u201d without Nvidia\u2019s support, Huang said on a recent podcast: \u201cIf we didn\u2019t support Nscale, they wouldn\u2019t be where they are today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The relationship also shows how interdependent the AI infrastructure ecosystem has become. Company accounts show Nvidia agreed to guarantee up to $860.3 million of Nscale\u2019s obligations under a lease for a Texas facility\u2014in exchange for warrants to acquire a stake in the company\u2014where Nscale is deploying Nvidia chips for Microsoft. The arrangement has helped Nscale scale faster, while demonstrating how deeply young AI infrastructure companies are tied to the chipmaker\u2019s success.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Europe\u2019s AI build-out<\/h2>\n

Nscale\u2019s public European footprint now includes operational sites in Norway and Portugal, a planned AI campus in Narvik, Norway; multiple sites in the UK; and a large planned deployment in Iceland.<\/p>\n

Europe is trying to build up its own computing power, in part to establish a stronger sense of AI sovereignty, and it\u2019s easy to see why. As of May 2025, according to data from the research institute Epoch AI, the U.S. had three-quarters of the world\u2019s AI computing power, with China in second place at around 15%. The EU, despite being home to some of the world\u2019s largest economies, held less than 5%. That has started to feel like a strategic vulnerability.<\/p>\n

But Europe\u2019s ambition is running hard into physical limits. Grid connection queues in the continent\u2019s most sought-after markets now stretch seven to 10 years on average, rising to 13 in the most congested \u00adcities. Ireland has imposed strict rules on new data center connections in Dublin, while the Netherlands and Frankfurt have effectively banned new connections until at least 2030. Researchers have warned that without reform, Europe\u2019s AI ambitions could end up as costly stranded assets.<\/p>\n

Energy is the core of Nscale\u2019s pitch. When he founded the business, Payne went looking for \u201cthe lowest-cost renewable power in the world.\u201d In Northern Norway, power is cheap and fully renewable. Instead of concentrating only in traditional data center hubs such as Frankfurt, Amsterdam, and Dublin, Nscale is betting on a more distributed network. In practice, says Philippe Sachs, Nscale\u2019s president for EMEA and global affairs, this means large AI campuses in places such as Norway, combined with smaller national sites for sensitive or low-latency workloads.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A German customer, for example, might keep strictly regulated workloads (such as medical records or core banking systems) on servers in Germany, but push large training runs or less sensitive jobs to giant server farms in the Nordics. Sachs calls this a \u201cfederated\u201d approach. \u201cYou need to reconcile the need for control with the need for competitiveness. For us, it\u2019s a false binary,\u201d Sachs says. \u201cThe pendulum has gone from one extreme to another, and the right solution is somewhere in the middle.\u201d <\/p>\n

Nidhi Chappell, Nscale\u2019s president of AI infrastructure and a former Microsoft executive who helped build its global AI fleet, says Nscale has designed its stack to offer a spectrum of choices, so customers can decide how \u2018sovereign\u2019 they want to be\u2014from having Nscale run the entire stack as a trusted operator to running the whole thing end-to-end themselves.<\/p>\n

Stargate hits gridlock <\/h2>\n

One of Nscale\u2019s most prominent deals was its involvement in Stargate, OpenAI\u2019s global infrastructure push. Unveiled in January 2025, the initiative was pitched as a sprawling, half\u2011trillion\u2011dollar network of sites, from massive campuses in Texas to sovereign compute projects in the UK and Norway.<\/p>\n

Nscale was part of the UK\u2019s Stargate plans, which included 8,000 GPUs for OpenAI in an initial phase and potential expansion to 31,000 GPUs. In Norway, OpenAI said it had found the right conditions to bring Stargate to Europe through the project in Narvik, a site being developed by Nscale and Norwegian industrial investment group Aker.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But parts of the Stargate project have since begun to unravel, complicating some of Nscale\u2019s most high\u2011profile deals. OpenAI paused Stargate UK, citing energy costs and regulatory uncertainty, and pulled back from plans to establish Stargate Norway. Microsoft has since stepped in to take additional capacity meant for OpenAI at the Narvik campus, and the Stargate branding has been removed, while Google has taken over the UK capacity meant for OpenAI, according to a source familiar with the company.<\/p>\n

Beyond Stargate, Nscale is running into familiar questions about AI\u2019s physical footprint. Pushback against data centers in Europe has not yet reached the intensity seen in some towns in the U.S., but the company is already facing scrutiny over how much power its sites will use.<\/p>\n

Wins to be had<\/h2>\n

Sources: Epoch AI, Analyst estimates<\/em><\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In Norway, Nscale\u2019s projects have faced criticism from some politicians and political parties over its access to renewable energy. Critics, including representatives of the left-wing Red Party, argue that Norway\u2019s abundant hydroelectric power should be prioritized for domestic industry and national digital infrastructure rather than large foreign-backed AI data centers.<\/p>\n

In Loughton, Essex, where the company has promised to build a sovereign AI \u201csupercomputer,\u201d a recent Guardian<\/em> report found that the site was still a working scaffolding yard even as ministers and company spokespeople touted it as soon-to-be one of the most powerful AI facilities ever built. Nscale initially hoped to complete the project by the end of 2026, but has since pushed this back to 2027. A spokesperson attributed the delay to technology upgrades.<\/p>\n

Documents also show that council officials in Loughton have objected to a revised application for a significantly larger facility than originally approved, raising concerns about the site\u2019s power demand, impact on the local grid, and noting at least two letters of objection from residents. Nscale said it was working closely with Epping Forest District Council, which is the decision-\u00admaking planning authority, \u201con addressing the concerns of local consultees, residents, and stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

A high-stakes bet <\/h2>\n

Companies like Nscale have been able to grow so quickly because the generative AI boom has created seemingly insatiable demand for specialized computing power.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For Big Tech customers, long-term contracts with neoclouds can secure capacity quickly while shifting some upfront cost and execution risk to third parties. For investors, the appeal is that these companies are not betting on a single AI company\u2019s success, but on the assumption that the entire market will keep needing more compute.<\/p>\n

That is also what makes the model risky. Neocloud providers remain exposed if demand weakens or key contracts are not renewed. While long-term deals can offer some protection, these companies are still responsible for financing and utilizing highly capital-intensive assets.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sandberg says she was drawn to Nscale because data center infrastructure has become one of the most critical pieces of the AI build-out. But she also acknowledges that it now has to execute on complex physical infrastructure projects. \u201cNscale has done a lot to sign up incredible customers and has to do a lot to deliver. I think Josh is completely committed to making that happen,\u201d she says. \u201cThese are big projects. They\u2019re complicated projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Analysts estimate total spending on AI data center infrastructure could reach $7\u00a0trillion by 2030, a figure that has fueled concern that parts of the market may be overspending.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s essentially a bigger bet that the boom is going to work out, that all these centers will be built, and everyone is going to want to use all these GPUs,\u201d says Olivier Darmouni, associate professor at business school HEC Paris. \u201cThe AI companies are fast at building data centers but slow at monetizing.\u201d<\/p>\n

That risk is especially acute in Europe, where power is more expensive than in the U.S. and where grid access and local opposition can slow projects before they are built. Michael Winterson, secretary general of the European Data Centre Association, believes Europe\u2019s higher power costs do not mean the market disappears, but do mean fewer customers can make the returns work. \u201cNeoclouds are a risky bet,\u201d Winterson says. \u201cThey fulfill a lot of interesting purposes, such as a sovereignty issue for Europe, a risk-mitigation strategy for companies that are too single-customer centric. But they also take on a lot of risk.\u201d<\/p>\n

Betting on demand<\/h2>\n

Payne is confident that those who think AI infrastructure spending is running ahead of real demand will eventually be proved wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He says the idea that AI is a bubble rests on the assumption that valuations are not backed by real revenue, which he sees \u201cskyrocketing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019re seeing is the largest infrastructure build-out in history,\u201d Payne says. \u201cYou always have some negative commentators. But as far as I can see, every dollar is backed by real revenues, and demand far outweighs supply at the moment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nscale is certainly not preparing to slow down. Over the next year, Payne wants the company to expand into multiple new European countries; support both the UK AI action plan and the EU AI gigafactory initiative; scale its North American organization; and push further into the Asia-Pacific region.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The bet is that the AI boom is only beginning and that the world\u2019s largest tech companies will keep needing more power, land, and chips than they can build alone. Nscale has shown it can attract capital and customers at extraordinary speed. The test is whether it can turn that momentum into a lasting business.<\/p>\n
