The Chicago metro is experiencing a major up lift in the number of local AI start ups, AI targeted investment funds, incubators and growing support ecosystem. This is creating a rapidly expanding innovation hub for applied AI applications and machine learning (ML) projects.
According to Restack.io’s report on Chicago’s AI start ups, AI firms have attracted $1.5 billion of investment in areas such as data science, natural language generation, healthcare and logistics since 2023.
Chicago is home to the global headquarters of TechNexus, a tech incubator supporting new AI companies with funding opportunities. Magnetar Capital, a $17.5 billion fund based in Evanston, Illinois recently finalized a $235 million venture fund for new generative AI companies in model, infrastructure, and application development. In addition, the University of Chicago Booth School of Business Center for Applied AI Intelligence conducts advanced AI research.
To support this growing ecosystem, Serverfarm’s CH1 data center provides a fully modernized data center to help the metro drive forward in its AI ambitions.
The data center offers a centrally located, 31MW site with 21MW of IT capacity. Powered by 12 diverse feeds from four separate substations, CH1 supports large edge computing applications with sustainable power designed for cloud-scale operators.
The facility features 13 telcos that already provide reliable connectivity for global service providers, low latency connections for major finance houses, and supports cloud, AI and enterprises running proximity sensitive AI workloads.
CH1 is the ideal location for growing enterprises, offering capital-efficient deployment options that can scale quickly to meet demand, along with tailored services to fit unique business needs. Our customers benefit from efficient Opex management through our industry leading InCommand DMaaS cloud platform. Trusted globally by the world’s top enterprises, InCommand Services offers bespoke data center management solutions to help you manage your infrastructure as efficiently as possible.
We are fully committed to sustainable operations and welcome Chicago’s supporting infrastructure advances in renewable energy projects – Illinois’s total capital investment in renewable energy reached $17 billion by late 2023. Serverfarm also welcomes Chicago’s strengthening connectivity infrastructure capabilities. One notable example is Crosstown Fiber recently completing new fiber routes, connecting data centers across the metro area.
As we add to Chicago’s data center capacity, we are helping the region strengthen its position for the next stages of AI innovation, digital economy growth and enterprise digital transformation.
