London: BlackRock Inc plans to pour as much as £500mil or about US$678mil into an overlooked corner of Britain’s data centre market, a commitment it unveiled as chief executive officer Larry Fink prepares to join US President Donald Trump on his state visit to the country.
The asset manager has acquired a site in west London that will seed a new venture with data centre operator Gravity Edge, according to a statement.
