Global investment firm Brookfield is set to launch its own cloud business as it deepens its bet on artificial intelligence infrastructure, according to a report by The Information. The move will allow Brookfield to lease AI chips directly from its data centers to AI developers, giving it tighter, end-to-end control over the AI value chain.
The new cloud venture will be linked to a $10 billion AI-focused fund and operated through a cloud platform called Radiant, which Brookfield will run. Radiant will receive priority access to data centers developed under the fund, which is currently backing projects in France, Qatar, and Sweden.
The initiative builds on Brookfield’s broader $100 billion AI infrastructure program, launched in November and anchored by the Brookfield Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Fund. Roughly half of the fund’s initial $10 billion commitments have already been secured from institutional and industry partners, including Nvidia and the Kuwait Investment Authority.
By combining its strengths in energy, real estate, and infrastructure with a proprietary cloud business, Brookfield aims to manage critical AI inputs—compute, power, and physical assets—more efficiently than traditional cloud providers.
The move could intensify pressure on established cloud giants such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Oracle, which are already under scrutiny to justify massive AI-driven capital expenditures and optimize energy and infrastructure efficiency.
