Supercomputer delivers £8 for every £1 spent

---

The UK’s national supercomputer has delivered an eightfold return on investment to the economy, a report reveals.

Independent analysis of the economic impact of ARCHER2, hosted by EPCC at the University, shows it has enabled more than £4.2bn in benefits to the UK economy over its five-year operational period.

This is equivalent to a return of £8.30 for every £1 of public funding since launching in 2021 when compared to costs of £100m to build the supercomputer and £400m of research funding.
