- Oracle will invest $3 billion over five years, $2 billion in Germany and $1 billion in the Netherlands, to expand AI and cloud infrastructure.
- The investment supports key industries like energy, healthcare, and finance, and positions Oracle to meet rising AI workload demands.
Oracle Corp. (ORCL) said on Tuesday, July 15, it will invest $3 billion over the next five years in Germany and the Netherlands to expand its artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud infrastructure across Europe.
The company will allocate $2 billion to Germany and $1 billion to the Netherlands to meet the rising demand for AI and cloud computing services. Oracle plans to expand its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) footprint in Frankfurt and Amsterdam, significantly increasing local AI infrastructure capacity.
“This investment will accelerate AI and cloud transformation for organisations across Germany,” said Thorsten Herrmann, Senior Vice President and Country Leader at Oracle Germany.
Furthermore, the move follows Oracle’s recent U.S. federal contract wins, which secured deep discounts on license-based software and cloud services. The company expects capital expenditure to exceed $25 billion in fiscal 2026, primarily toward building AI-ready data centre infrastructure.
In Germany, Oracle will focus on key industries including manufacturing, automotive, renewable energy, science, and healthcare. Karsten Wildberger, Federal Minister for Digital Affairs, said the investment will strengthen Germany’s digital backbone and support public and private sector access to advanced AI tools.
Oracle will target the Netherlands’ financial services, logistics, life sciences, and energy sectors. The company emphasised its ability to deliver more than 200 AI and cloud services across hybrid, public, and dedicated environments.
Previously, Jefferies analysts described Oracle’s momentum as a “pivotal moment” in its push toward hyperscale status, projecting that annual revenues could surpass $30 billion by fiscal 2028.
As the AI boom drives demand for computing power, cloud providers are racing to scale their infrastructure. AI workloads require far more resources than traditional applications, spurring record investments in data centre capacity.
Oracle is not alone. Eaton Corporation (ETN) is partnering with NVIDIA to boost AI data centre performance with high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power systems. Analysts expect global data centre capital expenditure to top $1 trillion by 2029.
