Microsoft has announced a $10 billion investment in a new AI data center park in Sines, Portugal, in collaboration with Start Campus and Nscale. This project is one of Microsoft's largest European investments this year, aimed at meeting the growing demand for AI computing power. Sines' strategic location on the Atlantic coast, with undersea cable links to Africa, Brazil, and the US, positions it as a key hub for high-performance data operations. The investment is anticipated to significantly enhance Portugal's GDP and establish the region as a leading tech center.
