The Financial Conduct Authority said it will launch a so-called Supercharged Sandbox that will “give firms access to better data, technical expertise and regulatory support to speed up innovation.”

Starting from October, financial services institutions in the U.K. will be allowed to experiment with AI using Nvidia’s accelerated computing and AI Enterprise Software products, the watchdog said in a press release.

The initiative is designed for firms in the “discovery and experiment phase” with AI, the FCA noted, adding that a separate live testing service exists for firms further along in AI development.

LONDON — Nvidia
CEO Jensen Huang poured praise on the U.K. on Monday, promising to boost investment in the country’s artificial intelligence sector with his multitrillion-dollar semiconductor company.

“The U.K. is in a Goldilocks circumstance,” Huang said, speaking on a panel with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Investment Minister Poppy Gustafsson. “You can’t do machine learning without a machine — and so the ability to build these AI supercomputers here in the U.K. will naturally attract more startups.”

The Nvidia boss went on to say, “I think it’s just such an incredible, incredible place to invest. I’m going to invest here.”

Huang also stressed that Britain “has one of the richest AI communities anywhere on the planet,” along with “amazing startups” such as DeepMind, Wayve, and Synthesia, ElevenLabs.

“The ecosystem is really perfect for take-off — it’s just missing one thing,” he said, referring to a lack of homegrown, sovereign U.K. AI infrastructure.

Earlier on Monday, Nvidia announced a new U.K. sovereign AI industry forum, as well as commitments from cloud vendors Nscale and Nebius to deploy new facilities in the country with thousands of the semiconductor giant’s Blackwell GPU chips.

The U.K. has been touting its potential as a global AI player in recent months, amid Keir Starmer’s efforts to lead his Labour government with a growth-focused agenda.

In January, Starmer unveiled a bold plan to boost the domestic U.K. AI sector, promising to relax planning rules around new data center developments and increase British computing power by twenty-fold by 2030.
