Global investment giant Brookfield will invest €20 billion ($20.65 billion) in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure across France, according to French newspaper Tribune. The initiative aims to boost AI development and strengthen the country's digital ecosystem.
Of the total investment, €15 billion will fund data center construction nationwide, supporting the growing demand for AI-driven computing power. The remaining €5 billion will be allocated to critical infrastructure, including data transfer networks, storage chips, and renewable energy production, essential for AI advancements.
These projects are set to run through 2030, reinforcing France’s position as a leading AI hub in Europe. The announcement comes ahead of the Artificial Intelligence Action (WA:ACT) Summit, which begins Monday in Paris. The summit will gather world leaders, business executives, academics, and industry experts to discuss AI’s impact on technology, economy, and society.
Brookfield’s significant investment highlights France’s growing role in AI innovation and digital transformation. As global AI adoption accelerates, this development will enhance the country’s technological infrastructure, data security, and renewable energy integration.
The move aligns with France’s broader digital ambitions, as it continues attracting major investments to solidify its standing in the AI and tech landscape. With strong government support and increasing private sector participation, France is positioning itself as a key player in the global AI economy.
