SoftBank Group announced on May 31 that it would invest up to 75 billion euros in France for the construction of a large-scale artificial intelligence (AI) computing cluster network. This will be the largest data center project in Europe to date. According to the British newspaper Financial Times, SoftBank Group plans to lead a 45 billion euro investment and build by 2031 3.1 GW of computing capacity in the Hauts-de-France region of northern France, with plans to expand by an additional 2 GW thereafter. If the 5 GW AI data center is completed as scheduled, its power consumption scale will be comparable to the total output of five nuclear power plants, and the total investment is expected to reach approximately 75 billion euros. Masayoshi Son has stated that France, based on its industrial strength, talent pool, and national strategic ambitions, possesses unique advantages and is expected to become Europe's leading AI infrastructure hub.
