Italy is becoming a key data centre hub, with €30 billion in investments and government plans to tackle energy costs and skill shortages. Milan is at the heart of this growth, attracting global tech giants. A strategic position. Italy is being recognised as an ideal location for data centres, said Adolfo Urso, the Minister of Enterprises.

During his speech at the Assolombarda assembly, he highlighted Italy’s geographical advantage as a G7 country in the Mediterranean, strategically positioned along vital information routes connecting the South, East, Europe, and the Atlantic. With cities like Amsterdam, Dublin, and London facing network saturation, Italy stands out as a new hub for data infrastructure.
