‘Choose France’ Draws Record €93bn as Macron Bets on AI, but SoftBank’s Massive Data Centre Push Steals the Show - Tekedia

France’s Choose France summit secured a record €93 billion in investment pledges across 71 projects.

Nearly half of the commitments were tied to SoftBank’s plan for three AI data centers in Hauts-de-France.

SoftBank may expand the project from €45 billion to as much as €75 billion, according to the report.

The move supports France’s effort to become a European AI hub powered by nuclear electricity.
