In January 2010, Verne Holdings announced that it had received equity funding from the Wellcome Trust to build a data center at Keflavik. The data center will take advantage of the available geothermal power and free cooling to minimize its carbon footprint.[7] wiki

The Wellcome Trust is a biomedical research charity based in London, United Kingdom. It was established in 1936 with legacies from the pharmaceutical magnate Sir Henry Wellcome to fund research to improve human and animal health. The aim of the Trust is to "achieve extraordinary improvements in health by supporting the brightest minds", and in addition to funding biomedical research it supports the public understanding of science. It has an endowment of £23.2 billion (2017) making it the second wealthiest charitable foundation in the world, after the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.[4][6] wiki

 

https://wellcome.ac.uk/about-us/history-The Trust's charitable spending started low, totalling £1.2 million in the first 20 years. It increased quickly between 1952 and 1986, as Wellcome Foundation's sales grew from £10m to over £500m.

 

Much of this growth was thanks to the drugs discovered by George Hitchings and Gertrude Elion. Their team pioneered rational drug design at the company's research labs in the USA. They developed the first leukaemia drug and immune system suppressants for organ transplants. Elion’s research was also essential in developing acyclovir, which stops the herpes virus replicating. Her colleagues later used the same principle to develop AZT, the first drug approved to treat HIV.

 

By 1985 the Wellcome Foundation was worth £1 billion. This led to a huge increase in the Wellcome Trust's scientific research funding. The Trust's grant allocation then was around £26.5m a year.

 

in 1995, the Wellcome Trust sold most of the remaining interest in Wellcome plc to Glaxo plc. This created Glaxo Wellcome plc, which merged with SmithKlineBeecham in 2000 to create GlaxoSmithKline. https://wellcome.ac.uk/about-us/history-wellcome
