PUNE, India | 22 October 2026 — Meta For Data (MFD), a Singapore-headquartered enterprise technology company building AI-first products and platforms, plans to invest £50 million in the United Kingdom over the next five years, with the investment expected to create 500 highly skilled jobs across London and Manchester.
The investment was featured in the UK Government’s announcement, “India trade mission unlocks hundreds of UK jobs and new deals,” published on 12 October 2026.
