Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. has announced the launch of the Brookfield Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Fund (BAIIF), a dedicated equity vehicle that will target $10 billion in commitments. The fund is part of a broader $100 billion AI infrastructure program that will acquire or build data‑center, power‑solution, and semiconductor‑manufacturing assets worldwide, with a focus on greenfield sites that can support hyperscalers and government customers.
The BAIIF has already secured $5 billion in capital commitments, split between Brookfield itself, NVIDIA, and the Kuwait Investment Authority. These partners bring complementary expertise: Brookfield’s experience in large‑scale infrastructure, NVIDIA’s leadership in AI hardware, and KIA’s capital appetite for long‑term, high‑impact projects.
Brookfield will leverage its existing data‑center and renewable‑power portfolio to accelerate deployment, although the exact 2,000 MW figure cited in the original release is not confirmed in the fact‑check sources. The program will prioritize greenfield projects on undeveloped land, allowing the firm to build purpose‑built facilities that meet the power, cooling, and connectivity demands of next‑generation AI workloads.
The launch signals Brookfield’s intent to capture a share of the projected $7 trillion AI infrastructure spend over the next decade. With more than $100 billion already invested in digital infrastructure and clean power, the firm is positioned to deliver the physical foundation—land, power, and compute—that AI companies need. Management highlighted that the partnership with NVIDIA “brings together land, power, and supercomputing into a ready‑to‑deploy AI cloud,” underscoring the strategic fit between Brookfield’s infrastructure capabilities and NVIDIA’s AI platform.
Sikander Rashid, Brookfield’s Head of AI Infrastructure, noted that the AI buildout will require $7 trillion of capital in the next ten years and that the firm is “thrilled to formally launch our dedicated AI program in partnership with NVIDIA and others to deliver this infrastructure at speed, at scale, and to the highest standard for enterprises, technology firms, and sovereign governments.”
Investors reacted positively to the announcement, with analysts noting the scale of the program and the credibility of the founding partners. The $10 billion equity target and the $100 billion program size, combined with the backing of NVIDIA and KIA, reinforced confidence in Brookfield’s ability to capture a meaningful portion of the AI infrastructure market. The partnership also positions Brookfield to benefit from the growing demand for purpose‑built data centers, renewable‑powered AI workloads, and the expanding need for semiconductor manufacturing capacity.
