Deutsche Telekom and Schwarz Group Partner on AI Data Center Initiative
Deutsche Telekom and Schwarz Group are advancing plans to build an AI gigafactory, targeting EU funding for large-scale data centers. The collaboration, still pending formal agreement, aims to secure part of the €20 billion allocated by the EU to bolster Europe's AI infrastructure. Brookfield may join as a financial backer.
Telekom's spokesperson emphasized ambitions to position Germany as a leader in AI, though declined to confirm specifics on the Schwarz partnership. The MOVE signals Europe's push to compete with U.S. and Chinese dominance in artificial intelligence infrastructure.
