In France, we observe a trend in which several data center operators and new entrants are developing AI-ready data centers to accommodate the rapidly growing AI workloads of customers across different industry sectors. For instance, Bpifrance, the French national investment bank, MGX, a UAE-based investment fund, Mistral AI, a French AI firm, and NVIDIA have announced that they have signed a joint venture to establish an AI-ready data center campus in France with a planned power capacity of around 1,400 MW. Additionally, the construction is expected to begin in Q2 2026, with operations set to commence by 2028. According to Arizton research, the France data center colocation market size was valued at USD 1.09 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 3.57 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 21.86% during the forecast period.

France Accelerates Its Green Data Center Vision with Renewable Investments.
France’s data center industry is placing a strong emphasis on sustainability, with operators investing in greener infrastructure and renewable energy sourcing. Companies such as Thésée DataCenter are developing eco-efficient facilities designed to minimize environmental impact and align with national carbon-reduction goals. Supporting this shift, the French government has rolled out a series of tax credit programs encouraging renewable energy investment across sectors, including solar, wind, and battery production. Introduced in December 2023, these incentives offer tax credits ranging from 20% to 60%, depending on project size and location. Building on this momentum, Data4 signed a power purchase agreement in March 2024 with three wind farms totaling around 36 MW of capacity, securing approximately 80 GWh of clean electricity to power its operations. Together, these developments highlight France’s growing commitment to sustainable data center growth and its transition toward a low-carbon digital economy.
France Fast-Tracks AI Infrastructure to Lead Europe’s Digital Race.
France is rapidly evolving into a global hub for AI innovation and digital infrastructure, supported by strong government initiatives and growing private investments. The country is witnessing a surge in AI-ready data center developments as operators respond to rising AI workloads across healthcare, transport, and environmental sectors. Through the France 2030 program, the government has committed around USD 56 billion toward emerging technologies, digital security, and startup growth. In early 2025, France launched a global AI partnership backed by USD 400 million, alongside private investments of USD 114 billion over the next five years. Additionally, around 35 strategic sites have been identified for data center expansion, including a landmark AI data center project with the UAE valued up to USD 52 billion. These initiatives underline France’s ambition to strengthen its position as a leader in sustainable, AI-driven digital transformation.
IoT at the Core of France’s Digital Future
France is steadily positioning itself at the forefront of the global IoT revolution, turning connected technology into a pillar of its digital economy. With continued investment in smart infrastructure and innovation, IoT is driving transformation across industries, from automotive and healthcare to manufacturing and finance, boosting efficiency and sustainability. To align with the EU’s 2030 digital goals, the French government is expanding digital education, supporting businesses, and digitizing over 250 public services. Paris, now ranked the third smartest city in the world, stands as a living example of this progress, using IoT to enhance energy efficiency, transport systems, waste management, and public safety. As big data and IoT technologies become more deeply integrated, France is shaping a connected, intelligent, and sustainable digital future.
