Mitsotakis: He will speak at a Google event – A new major investment is announced

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will have a meeting with the president of Google Cloud International, Ander Fox-Martin today (10:30), while at 12 noon Mr. Mitsotakis will speak at a Google event at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center.

After Microsoft and Amazon, Google is also proceeding with the development of infrastructure and a regional cloud service hub in Greece.

It is characteristic that Greece will now be one of the few countries in the world outside of North America, in which the three largest cloud service multinationals will have a local presence with infrastructure.

Taking into account the presence in Greece of extensive cloud infrastructures and other groups, such as Lamda Helix which was acquired by Digital Realty, it becomes clear that the country now acquires the technological infrastructure, services and above all the speeds and support it needs not only to public and private sector accelerate their digital transformation, but also to support the entire South East Europe region.

Google will develop a data center infrastructure in Greece in an investment that, although its budget is not disclosed, is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions. Speaking to “K” in July, the president of Google in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Matt Brittin, explained the group’s targeting of the Greek market:

“We continue to stand firmly by Greece and small and medium enterprises and support them as much as we can. Through our tools, services, investments and educational programs we seek to make people’s lives easier and better and contribute to the country’s path towards sustainable development.”
