Belgium Data Center Market - Investment Analysis & Growth Opportunities 2026-2031

BELGIUM DATA CENTER MARKET - KEY HIGHLIGHTS

• Belgium has about 36 operational colocation data centers. Most colocation data centers are being developed according to Tier III standards.
• Belgium’s international connectivity is primarily supported by submarine cable landing stations at Ostend and Bredene, which provide low-latency links to key European and UK markets and strengthen the country’s data center ecosystem. However, the concentration of landing points limits route diversity and may create resilience challenges. To enhance connectivity, in July 2025, EXA Infrastructure launched a new fiber route connecting London, Brussels, Amsterdam, and Frankfurt, including a submarine cable link between the UK and Belgium.
• The increasing emphasis on data sovereignty and regulatory compliance across Europe is driving hyperscalers to invest in sovereign cloud infrastructure and localized digital ecosystems. For example, in January 2026, AWS launched its AWS European Sovereign Cloud, an independent cloud platform designed to meet stringent EU data residency and sovereignty requirements, benefiting countries such as Belgium.
• Belgium’s data center market is witnessing increased investment in AI-ready infrastructure, with operators upgrading existing facilities and developing new capacity to support AI and HPC workloads. For instance, Digital Realty is expanding its presence in Brussels with hyperscale facilities featuring high-density deployments and advanced cooling technologies to meet growing demand from enterprises and cloud providers.
• Belgian has been an early adopter of advanced cooling technologies, with Google’s St. Ghislain facility pioneering water-based cooling solutions in Europe. Building on this foundation, the market is increasingly deploying liquid cooling to support AI-ready infrastructure, exemplified by Kevlinx Data Centers’ Brussels campus, which is designed to accommodate high-density workloads of up to 150 kW per rack.
