The UK’s digital transformation aligns with increased investment in data centres. A prime example is the recent announcement of a £3.75 billion data centre in Hertfordshire, Europe's largest, designed to support the country’s expanding digital infrastructure. This marks one of the largest private sector investments in the UK’s data economy to date. This initiative is part of broader efforts to turn the UK into a hub for technological innovation, signalling confidence in the country’s potential to lead globally in the data industry.
