Brookfield Launches $100B Global AI Infrastructure Program
Brookfield has unveiled a $100 billion global AI infrastructure program, developed in partnership with NVIDIA and the Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA).
At the center of this new platform is the Brookfield Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Fund (BAIIF), launched Wednesday with a $10 billion equity target to invest in what the firm describes as the foundational “backbone” of AI. The fund has already secured $5 billion in commitments from a select group of institutional and strategic partners, including Brookfield, NVIDIA, and KIA.
Together with additional co-investment capital and project financing, BAIIF is expected to support the acquisition and development of up to $100 billion in AI infrastructure assets. Brookfield said the program will span every layer of the AI value chain, including power generation, land, advanced data centers, and compute resources.
“AI is creating one of the largest infrastructure buildouts in history—comparable to the formation of the modern power grid and global telecom networks, but unfolding at a far greater pace and significantly larger scale,” said Sikander Rashid, Brookfield’s Head of AI Infrastructure. “This buildout will require $7 trillion of capital in the next 10 years across the entire AI value chain including power, compute, data centers, and beyond.”
Brookfield has already begun deploying capital through BAIIF. The firm recently announced a $5 billion framework agreement with Bloom Energy to install up to one gigawatt of behind-the-meter power solutions for data centers and AI factories. It has also inked partnerships in France and Sweden aimed at supporting national AI strategies, with up to $30 billion in combined planned investments.
