Japanese technology investment group SoftBank announced plans to develop and operate 5 GW of AI data centre capacity in France, in an investment worth €75 billion.
The project forms part of a broader wave of technology-related investments coming to France. President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that the country was expecting €93 billion in foreign investment commitments at this year's 'Choose France' summit, including projects in artificial intelligence, data centres, semiconductors, critical minerals, transport, steel and healthcare.
