Microsoft is set to increase its datacentre capacity in Europe by 40% within the next two years, aligning its operations under a new European board of directors. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance digital resilience, safeguard data privacy, and establish a robust AI and cloud ecosystem across 16 nations. Citing geopolitical concerns, Microsoft emphasizes the importance of customer trust and compliance with European laws as foundational to its operations, indicating its commitment to digital stability in Europe.
"To further cement the nexus between Microsoft and Europe, going forward our European datacentre operations and their boards will be overseen by a European board of directors that consists exclusively of European nationals and operates under European law."
"We recognise our business is critically dependent on sustaining the trust of customers, countries, and government across Europe."
