FRANCE DATA CENTER MARKET - KEY HIGHLIGHTS

• France plays a significant role in the European data center market, and it also play a significant role in the European undersea cable infrastructure. The country continues to witness growth in connectivity, with further upcoming investments in submarine cables.
• In October 2025, Orange Business announced the first landing of the Medusa submarine cable in Marseille. The cable will link Marseille to Bizerte in Tunisia. It helps to enhance the Europe-Africa digital infrastructure, increasing bandwidth and high-speed communications across the region.
• In France, we observed that there are some brownfield projects developed by a data center operator, for instance, in February 2026, a former sugar factory in Cagny, near Caen, France, was redeveloped into an AI data center.
• In February 2025, the French government announced the creation of AI, a global public- private partnership designed to transform the AI industry. This initiative program was introduced at the AI action summit in Paris, and it includes an initial investment of $400 million.
• In France, we observe that the data center operator or investor develop an AI- ready data center. For instance, In February 2025, G42, an AI & cloud computing company based in Abu Dhabi, and DataOne signed a partnership deal to develop an AI data center in Grenoble, France, powered by AMD hardware.
• We believe that the demand for AI-ready data centers will steadily increase in the forecast period. This growth is driven by increasing adoption of AI across various industries, expansions of HPC workloads, and investment coming from both public and private sectors.
• Data center operators in the country have started taking measures to improve the sustainability of their data center facilities. For instance, in December 2025, nLighten announced that it had signed a new renewable energy supply agreement with Axpo, the largest power producer in Switzerland, and an independent power producer (IPP), for all its French data center sites.
