Databricks has announced plans to invest more than $850 million in the UK over the next three years, significantly expanding its presence.
The data and AI giant will quadruple its London office footprint with a new 137,000-square-foot headquarters which will act as the company’s new EMEA hub.
Databricks has a growing UK and Ireland team of over 500 people, and this is expected to surpass over 1,000 people over the next few years.
Strategically located in Fitzrovia, the expanded space continues to place Databricks at the heart of the UK data and AI ecosystem, strengthening partnerships with many customers in the region, including Unilever, Rolls Royce, Nationwide, Virgin Atlantic, Department for Education, Royal National Lifeboat Institution, Octopus Energy and Flo Health.
Its local customers include over 50% of the FTSE 100 Index.
