Gold Financial reports that on May 31, SoftBank pledged a maximum investment of 75 billion euros to build a large-scale artificial intelligence computing cluster network in France. The project will become the largest data center project in Europe. This is also SoftBank's largest single artificial intelligence investment outside the United States. An insider said that in early April this year, after French President Emmanuel Macron had dinner with Masayoshi Son in Tokyo, the two sides quickly finalized this cooperation. SoftBank will initially lead an investment of 45 billion euros, planning to establish a 3.1 gigawatt computing power scale in the Upper France region by 2031, with plans to add an additional 2 gigawatts of computing power later. One of the core facilities of the project will be located in Dunkirk, where SoftBank will collaborate with Schneider Electric to build an artificial intelligence infrastructure and robotics manufacturing center. The region's advantageous geographical location allows it to serve clients in London, Brussels, Amsterdam, and other areas. The entire project is planned to have a total computing power of 5 gigawatts. If fully completed, SoftBank's total investment will reach approximately 75 billion euros.
