Brookfield Asset Management has stepped up its focus on artificial intelligence infrastructure with a new investment programme built around energy, land and data centre capacity.
The initiative aims to support the rapid acceleration of AI computing and the physical assets required to power it.
Brookfield has partnered with Nvidia and the Kuwait Investment Authority to drive the effort.
The plan is structured to attract long-term institutional capital and broaden access to the infrastructure needed for high-intensity digital workloads across global markets.
The move comes at a time when AI models are becoming more complex and require far greater computing power, pushing investors to secure reliable energy sources and expansion-ready land parcels.
New fund introduced with early backing
At the centre of the programme is the Brookfield Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Fund, which launches today with significant support from industry partners.
BAIIF has already secured $5 billion in capital commitments, including contributions from Brookfield, Nvidia and the Kuwait Investment Authority.
The wider programme targets $10 billion of global commitments, positioning the fund as a key investment vehicle for the next wave of infrastructure linked to AI growth.
The fund’s early backing signals rising interest from institutional investors in the physical foundations that enable AI systems to operate.
Brookfield expects this support to help speed up deal execution, especially in markets where data centre demand is outpacing local energy grids and available development sites.
Strategy focuses on large asset acquisition
Brookfield plans to scale its AI infrastructure presence through strategic acquisitions across the full chain of assets required for advanced computing.
The firm expects the programme to deploy as much as $100 billion through a mix of direct investment, co-investment partnerships and leverage.
The spending will focus on energy supply, development land and data centres, alongside other parts of the infrastructure network that support AI processing.
The approach is designed to accelerate the availability of power and real estate at a time when demand for AI computing capacity is increasing across industries.
Brookfield’s long-standing presence in renewable energy and utility-scale projects is expected to play a major role, giving the programme access to clean power sources that can support energy intensive workloads.
Expansion signals rising global demand
The initiative reflects a global shift among investors and technology companies toward infrastructure-heavy strategies.
Nvidia’s participation links the programme to the growing need for specialised computing environments that can accommodate AI hardware and software.
The involvement of the Kuwait Investment Authority highlights the interest from sovereign institutions looking to gain exposure to long-term AI growth.
As the programme expands, Brookfield expects increased activity in multiple regions as markets continue to develop the energy and data infrastructure required for AI adoption.
The initiative also indicates rising competition among global investors to secure assets early, as AI-driven industries become more dependent on a stable energy supply and scalable data centre capacity.
