Alphabet’s (GOOG) (GOOGL) Google will invest a mid-single-digit billion euro amount in Germany amid efforts to boost its infrastructure and data center capacity in the country, Reuters reported, citing an industry source.
The plans include a new data center in Dietzenbach, near Frankfurt, and the expansion of a Google site in Hanau in the same area, the report added.
Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Seeking Alpha.
Last week the American company said that it would be “investing billions in Germany and will be addressing real issues of the future with innovations, artificial intelligence and climate-neutral transformation,” the report noted.
Tech giants Alphabet, Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta Platforms (META) are spending billions of dollars to build AI infrastructure, and some have even raised their expectations for the next year as the AI race heats up.
