Stargate, the massive $500 billion initiative led by OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank to develop artificial intelligence infrastructure including advanced data centers in the United States, is now reportedly considering an expansion into international markets. According to recent coverage in the Financial Times, the partners behind Stargate are evaluating potential investments in nations such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and France.
Originally conceived to enhance U.S. capabilities in AI, the Stargate project remains primarily concentrated on its American operations for now. The venture is still in the midst of raising its initial funding round, targeting approximately $100 billion. SoftBank is expected to provide a significant portion of this financing through a combination of debt and equity investment.
When Stargate was first announced in January, it drew praise from President Donald Trump, who hailed the project’s large-scale investment as a clear “declaration of confidence in America.” The expanded vision to include international ventures underscores the rising global demand for robust infrastructure that can support advancements in artificial intelligence technologies.
