Microsoft will invest €3.2 billion in Germany by the end of 2025 to double the artificial intelligence and cloud capacities of its data centers there. The company also wants to train more than 1.2 million people in digital skills.
Brad Smith, Vice Chair and President of Microsoft, said the aim is to enable the German economy to benefit from AI in order to continue to expand its leading global position in terms of competitiveness.
Germany has always been at the forefront of technological and innovative change, Smith said, and this is also evident in terms of AI when he analyses the data available to Microsoft.
