As artificial intelligence reshapes industries, Europe’s data centre landscape is undergoing a significant shift. Our latest whitepaper, “European Data Centres – Powering Growth in the Age of AI“, explores how the continent is mobilising over €350 billion to triple its data centre capacity by 2032 – a bold ambition coming with important challenges.

From grid constraints and planning bottlenecks to the rise of high-performance computing (HPC) and AI inferencing, this report offers a deep dive into the forces shaping the future of digital infrastructure in Europe. Discover how major (FLAPD) and secondary markets are positioned for growth, and how investors and operators can navigate the complex energy and regulatory landscape.

Key insights include:

The impact of AI on data centre demand and rack density
Why grid capacity and permitting delays are the new bottlenecks
How secondary markets like Milan, Lisbon, and Warsaw are gaining traction
The EU’s €700–800 billion investment targets for digital infrastructure
A strategic framework to identify high-potential markets for future data centre investment
