Oracle has unveiled a $3 billion investment plan to enhance its cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure in Germany and the Netherlands, aiming to meet the soaring demand for AI computing and strengthen its European presence.
The tech giant will allocate $2 billion to Germany and $1 billion to the Netherlands over the next five years to develop new cloud regions, advance high-performance computing, and deliver AI-focused services tailored for local enterprises and public sector organizations.
The announcement comes as hyperscalers like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud intensify their infrastructure investments in Europe, driven by rising customer demand and stringent data sovereignty regulations. Oracle’s move aligns with the EU’s digital sovereignty agenda, emphasizing local control over critical digital infrastructure.

“Organizations across Europe are rapidly adopting AI to increase productivity, drive new innovations, and unlock growth,” said Richard Smith, Executive Vice President for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “Our strategic investments in Germany and the Netherlands will empower both public and private sector organizations with high-performance, secure, and compliant cloud infrastructure.”
The expanded infrastructure will enable industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and financial services to leverage AI and cloud services with reduced latency, ensuring compliance with EU data regulations. By establishing dedicated cloud regions in these countries, Oracle aims to provide scalable and secure AI solutions to European institutions.
This investment is part of Oracle’s broader $10 billion global infrastructure expansion and supports its goal to double its global cloud capacity in 2025. The company’s focus on localized cloud regions positions it as a key partner for European organizations navigating the evolving digital landscape.
