OpenAI looks to Canada for data centres after pausing Stargate UK; here’s why

 OpenAI is exploring Canada for data centre partnerships due to energy and land availability. This move follows the company’s decision to pause its Stargate UK project earlier this year. George Osborne praised Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s AI adoption strategy as very impressive. Norway already hosts a Stargate infrastructure project powered by hydropower, targeting significant GPU capacity. European governments are also actively competing for substantial artificial intelligence investment. OpenAI is exploring Canada for data centre partnerships due to energy and land availability.
