Google to Invest $6.4 Billion in Germany’s Cloud Infrastructure Expansion

Alphabet’s Google has announced plans to invest €5.5 billion ($6.4 billion) in Germany between 2026 and 2029 to strengthen its cloud infrastructure and data centre capacity. The investment includes building a new data centre in Dietzenbach near Frankfurt and expanding its existing facility in Hanau, both located in the state of Hesse.

The initiative is expected to secure around 9,000 indirect jobs, marking a significant boost for Germany’s digital economy. Google Cloud’s Northern Europe vice president Marianne Janik said the investment will directly involve about 100 workers at each site. The move follows a series of major tech partnerships in Germany, including a $1.2 billion AI deal between Deutsche Telekom and Nvidia.

German Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil hailed the announcement as a major signal for Germany’s economic future, noting that no state funds are involved. The government continues to promote the country as a prime business destination amid efforts to modernize infrastructure and revive economic growth.
