      According to a **Bloomberg News** report, the investment will take place over several years and aims to position **Portugal as a strategic hub for large-scale AI development**. The investment will be made in the **data center located in Sines**.

      This investment is part of a **joint project with Nscale, Start Campus, and NVIDIA**, and includes the installation of around **12,600 next-generation NVIDIA GPUs** to power advanced AI workloads.

      According to **Microsoft president Brad Smith**, Portugal won the **European competition to host this type of “AI gigafactory.”** He emphasized that the country stood out due to its **favorable energy conditions, strong network connectivity, and competitive environment for innovation.**

      The goal is to **position Portugal as a European leader in scalable, secure, and sustainable AI**, strengthening its digital infrastructure and also promoting **training initiatives and support for startups** within this technological ecosystem. **Brad Smith** will take part in this year’s **Web Summit**, which is being held in **Lisbon**.

      All these big tech corpos making huge lobbies (bribes) and investments in Europe recently seems like it’s another move to get rid of competition now that people are starting to look for alternatives in stuff like Linux and Proton.

      Microsoft with big layoffs in Portugal on the last couple of years. At the same time investing in AI data centers that will only give money to more lobbies. This corporations nowadays ffs

      .. as long as the wind keeps blowing in the same direction. Just wait until people start realizing the return on AI investment is way smaller than projected and layoffs will follow.

      Don’t understand all the negativity here, this is great news for Portugal and Europe in general. Well done!

      So they have cheap electricity? Wouldn’t it be better to build it in a country with a colder climate.

      Datacenters are not nearly as useful for the local economy as 9 billion € sounds like tbh. Its nearly useless

      The people working with these datacenters probably wont be sitting in the middle of nowhere in the algarve

      Remember when the population wanted to crucify the former PM Antonio Costa because he was making the data center infrastructure happen in Sines?

      Pepperidge Farm remembers.
