Nvidia-backed $5 billion AI company tells CNBC its launching major expansion in London
Summary
Runway is expanding in London and will make the city its new European headquarters. The company plans to invest more than $200 million into the U.K. AI ecosystem by the end of 2028. Runway builds world models and also offers video generation and editing tools, so the move strengthens its software and research footprint in Europe. The expansion puts the company closer to major customers such as BBC, Fremantle, and WPP. It also follows broader U.S. AI company expansion in London, including moves from Anthropic and OpenAI.
