Oracle has shared new details on its UK investment programme, first announced in March, which includes AI services and a sovereign cloud platform. Earlier this year, the company pledged $5 billion to expand Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in the UK and support government efforts around AI adoption. The latest update highlights progress on a sovereign cloud offering designed for government and defence users, with services like generative AI and the OCI AI Agent Platform. The sovereign cloud is intended to give the UK, US, and NATO a shared, secure platform and ensure data complies with national and international regulations. Officials say the move will allow sensitive workloads to run at scale without compromising security or control. The announcement was timed with US President Donald Trump’s visit to the UK, during which several American technology firms unveiled new commitments to the country.
