Brookfield is launching an AI cloud platform that will challenge some of its largest customers.
The investment giant claims it will be able to bring down the costs of AI compute through its new cloud company, dubbed Radiant, as reported by The Information.
Reports that Brookfield was entering the cloud game first emerged in November 2025. However, little information was provided beyond news that the offering would consist of full-stack AI services that leverage Brookfield’s access to infrastructure, including land, power, and data centers around the world.
At the time, the company also said it would build AI factories based on Nvidia DSX reference design to support Brookfield’s Sovereign AI programs.
According to The Information, the cloud offering will be tied to the Brookfield Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Fund (BAIIF), which has launched with a target of $10 billion of equity commitments to “invest in the backbone of artificial intelligence.”
Nvidia is an investor in the fund.
The company is hoping to win business from governments and companies looking to store and process data locally, positioning Brookfield in competition with some of the biggest cloud players in operation, many of which could also be customers of Brookfield’s data center companies.
Sikander Rashid, Brookfield’s global head of AI infrastructure, said: “We want to be able to set up these compute clusters and manage them ourselves instead of relying on, say, five different partners in five different markets.”
Rashid later added: “We’re not going to invest capital speculatively. We are not speculatively buying chips and hoping that they will come.”
Rashid also said Brookfield aims to bring down the cost of running an AI cloud service through “innovative structuring,” but did not offer details on how this will be achieved.
The BAIIF fund is currently developing data centers in France, Qatar, and Sweden. Brookfield has said it will be giving Radiant priority leasing.
In France, the company is developing a 1.5GW data center through its portfolio brand Data4, while in Sweden it is aiming to develop a 750MW campus, though has to secure the required energy permissions.
The BAIIF is set to anchor a larger $100bn fund focused on AI infrastructure, and as of November had secured $5bn.
In October, Brookfield signed a $5bn partnership with Bloom Energy to supply fuel cells to data centers worldwide.
