Google's massive €5 billion investment in Belgium aimed at significantly expanding its artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure and data center network. This expansion, centered at the existing Saint-Ghislain site and a new campus in Farciennes, is projected to create hundreds of direct jobs and support thousands more through local contractors and suppliers. A key component of the project is the commitment to powering these facilities entirely with carbon-free energy, reinforcing both Google's sustainability goals and Belgium's position as a hub for green and digital technology.
