³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ and AMD, one of the world’s largest semiconductor companies, plan to collaborate to advance AI-enabled scientific discovery, sovereign AI infrastructure and next-generation high-performance computing (HPC) systems in the United Kingdom.

Bringing together ’s expertise in accelerated computing and open software with ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s world-class expertise in science, engineering, and healthcare research and innovation, the organisations will explore new approaches to tackling some of the world’s most complex scientific problems.

The collaboration is expected to support advanced computational research across fields including engineering design, multiphysics simulation, materials discovery, climate and earth system modelling, neuroscience and brain imaging, epidemiology, biosecurity, genomics and computational biology. AMD and ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ also intend to explore opportunities to optimise AI models, scientific workflows and data-intensive applications on AMD compute platforms and software.

“AI and accelerated computing are transforming how researchers solve complex problems and turn discoveries into real-world impact,” said Dr Lisa Su, CEO and chair of AMD. “By combining AMD leadership AI and HPC platforms with ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s globally recognized research and innovation ecosystem, we aim to help to help researchers tackle larger challenges, develop next-generation AI talent and advance open, interoperable sovereign AI infrastructure in the UK.”

UK Science Minister said, “This partnership between AMD and ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ will combine world-class computing and AI expertise with engineering and research to help tackle some of the toughest challenges we face, from healthcare to our changing climate. By backing discovery, skills and innovation here in the UK, it has the potential to improve lives, open up new opportunities for students and researchers, and support the growth of businesses and jobs across the country.”

Beyond research, AMD and ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ plan to work together on education, workforce development and science-based innovation initiatives spanning AI, HPC, accelerated computing, semiconductor technologies and engineering. The parties will explore opportunities to provide students, researchers, startups and innovators with access to computing resources, software environments and technical expertise through workshops, seminars, internships, pilot programs and industry engagements. These activities will take place across ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s WestTech London innovation ecosystem, which encompasses its campuses at South Kensington, , the and Old Oak Innovation Cluster.

“³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ is committed to advancing world-leading research and innovation that delivers real-world impact,” said Professor Hugh Brady, President of ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ. “Working with AMD creates new opportunities to expand opportunities for researchers, students and innovators to access advanced AI and accelerated computing infrastructure working across scientific, engineering and healthcare disciplines.”

The collaboration reflects the shared commitment of AMD and ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ to strengthen sovereign AI capabilities, support open and interoperable computing ecosystems, and contribute to the long-term growth and competitiveness of the UK AI and scientific innovation economy.
