Orange, Morrison plan French data centre venture to meet AI demand

Summary

Orange and Morrison plan a 50-50 French data-centre venture targeting 400 MW of capacity, backed by a €3 billion investment program. It is another sign that AI demand is reshaping infrastructure investment.

Why it matters

Data centres are becoming a core layer of the AI economy, and capital is flowing to the power, real estate, and financing needed to support them. That broadens the startup opportunity set well beyond model builders.
