On February 10, Brookfield Asset Management, in collaboration with French President Emmanuel Macron, announced a €20 billion investment plan to expand AI infrastructure in France. The initiative includes up to €15 billion for data centers, led by Brookfield’s portfolio company Data4, which aims to build over 500 MW of capacity and triple that by 2030.

An additional €5 billion will go toward AI-related infrastructure, including data transfer, chip storage, and energy generation. Brookfield is a major global investor in digital infrastructure, renewables, and semiconductors and has been active in France since 2015 and recently opened a Paris office to support its growing investments. President Macron said:

“The €20 billion investment by Brookfield notably through Data4 will allow France to remain in the race alongside major AI players. This investment demonstrates France’s attractiveness. We have the knowledge, the talents, and the decarbonized energy needed to accelerate in AI. We must not slow down, the world is accelerating. This is a battle for independence.”
