“ The new supercomputer , backed by a billion pound UK government investment , will act as a catalyst for unlocking new skills , technologies and jobs right across our economy – from data scientists to AI experts – all as part of our efforts to build back better and create a cleaner future .”

Once up and running in Summer 2022 , the new supercomputer will help ensure government , industry and communities are better prepared for severe weather and our changing climate through :

This new supercomputer – expected to be the world ’ s most advanced dedicated to weather and climate – will be in the top 25 supercomputers in the world and be twice as powerful as any other in the UK .
