Critical Dependencies
A global investment partnership established September 2024 by BlackRock, Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), MGX and Microsoft to mobilize up to $30 billion of equity capital (potentially $100 billion including debt financing) for AI data centers and enabling power infrastructure. NVIDIA and xAI joined as members in 2025, with NVIDIA also serving as technical advisor leveraging its accelerated-computing expertise; Cisco joined as a technology partner, and GE Vernova and NextEra Energy as energy-infrastructure collaborators. AIP later welcomed Temasek and the Kuwait Investment Authority as members. BlackRock disclosed on its Q4 2025 earnings call that AIP had raised $12.5 billion for AI infrastructure development, and in October 2025 AIP, MGX and GIP agreed to acquire 100% of Aligned Data Centers in a roughly $40 billion transaction — one of the largest digital-infrastructure deals to date — expected to close in the first half of 2026.
