U.S.-based technology firm Oracle announced plans to invest $2 billion in Germany over the next five years to expand its artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing infrastructure.
The investment aims to meet rising demand for AI applications and cloud services in Europe’s largest economy.
According to the company, a significant portion of the funds will be allocated to expanding Oracle’s cloud infrastructure in the Frankfurt region, one of the country’s key data and technology hubs.
The move is expected to substantially increase Oracle’s AI application capacity in the area.
Oracle’s announcement follows similar commitments from other major U.S. technology companies, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google, and Microsoft, as these firms have also pledged to invest in data center expansion across Germany over recent years.
The wave of investments comes as discussions continue in Germany around the concept of “digital sovereignty”—the idea that countries should maintain control over digital infrastructure and data security within their borders.
In addition to its Germany plans, Oracle confirmed a separate $1 billion investment in the Netherlands aimed at enhancing its regional cloud and AI capabilities.
The company is also involved in the Stargate AI project, a public-private partnership introduced by U.S. President Donald Trump in January.
The initiative is targeting up to $500 billion in AI infrastructure investments across the United States by 2029.
Founded in 1977 by Larry Ellison, Oracle reported annual revenue of $57.4 billion as of the first quarter of 2025.
The firm is headquartered in Texas and operates globally across database management, enterprise software, and cloud services.
