The government has ditched the previous administration’s plans to invest more than a billion pounds in tech and AI, with a new exascale facility in the Scottish capital losing out
The new Labour government has shelved £1.3bn of funding for technology and artificial intelligence projects, including the share dedicated to developing an exascale supercomputer at Edinburgh University.
The cash had been pledged by the Conservative administration less than a year ago in what Labour claims was part of “unfunded commitments”. The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) said the funding had not been allocated in its budget.
A government spokesperson said: “We are absolutely committed to building technology infrastructure that delivers growth and opportunity for people across the UK. The government is taking difficult and necessary spending decisions across all departments in the face of billions of pounds of unfunded commitments. This is essential to restore economic stability and deliver our national mission for growth.”
Among the programmes to lose out was a programme to build a new supercomputer at in Edinburgh, which had been allocated a total of £800m. The Scottish institution has already spent £31m on the infrastructure required to house the supercomputer, which was to be 50 times faster than any existing machines.
It was hoped the supercomputer would allow researchers to accelerate their work on challenges such as climate science, AI and medicine. The first phase of its installation was due to start next year, but now the project’s future is unclear.
A spokesperson for the university said: “The University of Edinburgh has led the way in supercomputing within the UK for decades and is ready to work with the government to support the next phase of this technology in the UK in order to unlock its benefits for industry, public services and society.”

It is understood, that the university’s principal and vice-chancellor professor sir Peter Mathieson, is urgently seeking a meeting with the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology.
A further half a million pounds has been taken away from the AI Research Resource, which funds computing power for AI. However, £300m in funding for the resource has already been distributed and will continue as planned.
Despite Labour’s allegation, the Tories claim that at the time of the election, DSIT had underspent its budget for the current financial year.
Shadow science secretary Andrew Griffith said: “This is a terrible blow to the UK tech sector and could be just the start of Labour cuts. During the election Labour refused to commit to growing the amount the UK spends on research, yet that’s a core part of growing a modern economy. If DSit can’t get the funds from the Treasury, this means university research can expect to be hit, too.”
In a post on social media platform X, Griffith accused Labour of having “lower ambitions” for the tech sector, adding “no one should be fooled” by its allegation that the Conservatives were to blame for the cut.
He added: “We increased public spending on research to a record £20bn a year for 2024/25 and, unlike Labour, we committed to increase that by a further 10 per cent in our manifesto. AI and Exascale Compute were both beneficiaries of this increased funding.”
The announcement comes a week after science secretary Peter Kyle said he was “putting AI at the heart of the government’s agenda to boost growth and improve our public services” and appointed the tech entrepreneur Matt Clifford to create an action plan.
It also comes days after the government invested £100m in five new quantum hubs, two of which are to be based in Scotland.

Cancerous cells form in the mesothelium, which is a safety lining which covers most of the body’s organs. These cells commonly form within the lining in the lungs, belly, or the sac which encircles the heart. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

One thing is that if you are searching for a education loan you may find that you will want a cosigner. There are many circumstances where this is true because you will find that you do not employ a past history of credit so the financial institution will require you have someone cosign the financial loan for you. Great post.

I have seen a lot of useful things on your web-site about personal computers. However, I have the view that netbooks are still more or less not powerful sufficiently to be a good option if you frequently do things that require lots of power, just like video touch-ups. But for world-wide-web surfing, statement processing, and the majority of other common computer work they are just fine, provided you cannot mind the little screen size. Thanks for sharing your notions.

Thanks for your interesting article. Other thing is that mesothelioma is generally the result of the breathing of dust from mesothelioma, which is a very toxic material. It really is commonly witnessed among staff in the building industry with long experience of asbestos. It is caused by residing in asbestos protected buildings for a long period of time, Genes plays a huge role, and some people are more vulnerable to the risk in comparison with others.
