Oracle Corporation, a provider of enterprise software and cloud services, plans to invest $2 billion over five years to grow its AI and cloud infrastructure in Germany. The investment will enhance the Oracle Cloud Frankfurt Region’s capacity, allowing more businesses and public institutions to access its AI solutions and cloud services. Thorsten Herrmann, Oracle’s Senior Vice President and Germany country Leader, stated, “With our plans to invest U.S. $2 billion in AI infrastructure and cloud computing over the next five years, we are helping organizations across Germany accelerate their AI and cloud journeys.” This move aligns with Germany’s digital growth plans, with Federal Minister Dr. Karsten Wildberger welcoming the step, noting “It strengthens our digital infrastructure and enables companies and public authorities to benefit from state-of-the-art AI and cloud technologies.”
The expanded Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) will serve Germany’s key sectors, including manufacturing, automotive, renewable energy, research, and healthcare. The investment will also boost cloud capacity for sensitive and regulated industries via Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud in Frankfurt. Oracle’s distributed cloud options, public, dedicated, hybrid, and multicloud, will allow organizations flexibility in deploying services across locations. With integrations across platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, Oracle aims to offer seamless multicloud services while supporting Germany’s growing AI community and national innovation objectives.
