AION Consortium Seeks €10 Billion EU Funding for Data Center in France
The AION consortium has applied for €10 billion in EU funding to construct a large-scale data center in France, aimed at enhancing digital sovereignty in Europe. This initiative seeks to reduce reliance on American and Chinese cloud services.

The AION consortium has submitted a request for €10 billion from the EU's €20 billion fund to build a large-scale data center in France. The facility is projected to achieve a capacity of one gigawatt and is expected to strengthen Europe's digital sovereignty.
Key members of the consortium include French companies such as Artefact, Bull, Capgemini, Orange, Iliad, Scaleway, Ardian, and EDF. This project could significantly impact the competitive landscape of cloud services in Europe, potentially reducing dependency on major US and Chinese providers.
