SoftBank's EUR75 Billion Wager Puts France at the Heart of Europe's AI Infrastructure Build. SoftBank will invest up to EUR75 billion to develop 5GW of AI data centre capacity across France, anchored by an initial EUR45 billion phase spanning Dunkirk, Bosquel, and Bouchain, with EDF and Schneider Electric providing critical energy and manufacturing backbone. France's grid strength and industrial land availability have proven decisive in securing the commitment, which ranks as SoftBank's largest European AI infrastructure play to date. For electronics and component suppliers, the scale of power systems, cooling, and advanced manufacturing demand this unlocks represents one of the most significant procurement opportunities on the continent right now. #TheSource #ReboundElectronics #SoftBank #France #AI #DataCentres #Energy #Manufacturing #AIInfrastructure #Procurement
