Additionally, 85% of decision-makers surveyed at international AI
companies said that they are very confi dent in the capital’s ability to attract and retain talent over the next twelve months. Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, said: “London is a world-leading
centre for technology and talent, and fast becoming one of the most important centres for AI businesses globally. “The world’s leading players in the sector are investing in
international headquarters across our city. These AI hubs will bring industry experts together to innovate and collaborate and provide major opportunities for Londoners to access the jobs and opportunities of the future. “AI will play a major role in both our society and economy,
something all policy makers have to grapple with as we build a better and fairer London for all.” Also commenting on the fi ndings, Janet Coyle CBE, Managing
Director of Grow London at London & Partners, said: “T is research shows that London is at the forefront of supporting the responsible development of AI. As the number one tech hub in Europe and second in the world, we are already welcoming the likes of Microsoft AI, OpenAI, and Google DeepMind, all of whom have chosen London as a location for their international headquarters.” Mike Mattacola, Chief Business Officer of CoreWeave, who
recently announced the company’s expansion to London, said: “We’re incredibly excited to have launched our European headquarters in London as part of our broader expansion into the continent. London was an easy strategic decision for CoreWeave due to the city’s focus on fostering AI development, immense talent pool, access to a world- leading fi nancial sector and close proximity to AI labs, developers, and enterprise customers across the UK. Our launch in London will allow CoreWeave to capitalise on the signifi cant demand for our AI infrastructure both in the UK and across Europe.” Jules Persaud, Chief Commercial Offi cer at Epidemic Sound,
who also recently opened an offi ce in the capital, said: “London is one of the world’s foremost creative hubs and a cultural force across art forms including music and content creation.
“It’s home to thousands of leading professional content creators – who we’re excited to empower with AI-powered soundtracking – as well as an abundance of music talent – that we can’t wait to collaborate with to off er an innovative, equitable way of working. London was one of three chosen cities for our 2024 global brand campaign, and opening an office there provides a significant opportunity to expand our presence in such an important global market.” When asked how London can maintain its attractiveness for
international AI companies over the next twelve months, almost one-third (32%) of respondents highlighted the need for strong infrastructure and a robust technological ecosystem, while 29% pointed to continued investment in AI research and development.
