PARIS, 10 February 2025 — evroc, the European cloud company, is proud to announce a landmark initiative to build its first AI factory in Mougins, France, strengthening Europe’s position in AI. Designed from the ground up to power large-scale AI workloads, the 96 MW data center will maintain industry-leading sustainability standards. Construction is expected to be completed in 2025, and capacity will be built in phases.
AI built from the ground up Unlike legacy providers, evroc integrates AI at every layer – from data center operations and hardware orchestration to developer tools and applications – ensuring next-generation performance, energy efficiency, and developer productivity. AI-driven optimizations also help minimize environmental impact, including novel approaches to cooling, resource allocation, and heat reuse.
“We see France as a central hub for AI research and innovation,” says Mattias Astrom, evroc founder and CEO. “Our new data center in Mougins represents both a critical infrastructure investment and a commitment to local technology and talent. By building the European cloud, we’re opening new frontiers for Europe’s AI ecosystem.”
Expanding in France To further support French and European markets, evroc plans to secure two additional 100+ MW sites in France during 2025 – key steps in establishing the European hyperscale cloud. evroc will also expand its existing Sophia Antipolis development office with a dedicated AI team, strengthening local R&D capabilities in AI, cloud engineering, and data center operations.
Championing European sovereignty evroc believes Europe must own its critical cloud and AI infrastructure. From local investment to data residency, all facilities strictly comply with EU privacy legislation – ensuring no foreign backdoors. This sovereignty principle guarantees uninterrupted access to evroc’s services, shielding European AI infrastructure from geopolitical risks.
