The Kuwait Investment Authority AI has joined forces with Brookfield and Nvidia in a landmark $100 billion global artificial intelligence infrastructure program. This collaboration marks a major step in developing the critical physical infrastructure needed to support AI growth worldwide.
Strategic Partnership Launch and Fund Details
Brookfield launched the Brookfield Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Fund (BAIIF) with a target of $10 billion in equity commitments to invest in AI infrastructure assets. Already, $5 billion has been secured from key partners, including Brookfield, Nvidia, and KIA. The fund plans to acquire up to $100 billion worth of assets spanning energy, land, data centres, and computing infrastructure necessary to power AI.
Focus Areas of AI Infrastructure Investment
The program invests across four main verticals: AI factories built on Nvidia’s DSX Vera Rubin-ready design, behind-the-meter power solutions supporting AI data centres, compute infrastructure tailored for governments and enterprises, and strategic partnerships that cover the entire AI value chain. The initiative aims to address the immense capital needs of AI infrastructure, estimated at $7 trillion over the next decade.
Brookfield’s Infrastructure and Nvidia Partnership
Brookfield, a leader with over $100 billion invested in digital infrastructure and clean power, brings unmatched expertise and asset scale to the program. The company has also launched Radiant, a new Nvidia Cloud Partner service to build AI factories using Brookfield’s global infrastructure footprint. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang highlighted the significance of this partnership in providing purpose-built, scalable AI infrastructure.
Kuwait Investment Authority’s Strategic Role
KIA’s involvement highlights its commitment to investing in emerging technology infrastructure to gain long-term value. The partnership offers Kuwait exposure to critical AI infrastructure development, supporting global AI capabilities and innovation.
Initial Investments and Global Expansion
Brookfield has initiated a $5 billion deal with Bloom Energy to supply up to 1 gigawatt of clean power to AI data centres. It has also established AI infrastructure partnerships in France and Sweden with planned investments of up to $30 billion to support national AI goals. This global reach underscores the scale and ambition of the $100 billion AI infrastructure program.
