Germany's cabinet adopts first national data centre strategy

Germany's federal cabinet adopted its first national Data Centre Strategy, targeting a doubling of data centre connection capacity and a quadrupling of AI and high performance computing capacity by 2030 across 28 measures, with no funding figure disclosed.

Verified AI-drafted Bundesregierung / BMDS press release, 18 March 2026

What it does not test. Does not establish that any funding has been committed or any data centre built, since the strategy sets targets and measures without a disclosed budget.

How this item counts. No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0. Cabinet adopted targets/measures but no funding, no capacity actually built yet. European Sovereignty Index
