Oracle plans to invest U.S. $1 billion over the next five years to meet the rapidly growing demand for its AI and cloud services in the Netherlands. The investment will expand Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's (OCI) footprint in the Netherlands and will include a significant expansion of AI infrastructure capacity in the Oracle Cloud Amsterdam Region. This will enable more enterprises, startups, and public organizations in the Netherlands to take advantage of Oracle's industry-leading AI infrastructure and sovereign cloud to innovate with AI, data, and analytics.
"Organizations in the Netherlands are rapidly embracing AI and new technologies," said Wilfred Scholman, vice president and Netherlands country leader, Oracle. "The Dutch government has made clear its ambition to establish a strong technology industry ecosystem in the Netherlands that offers opportunities for AI innovation for both economic and societal benefit. The investment we are announcing today, including a significant expansion of OCI's AI infrastructure capacity, reaffirms our commitment to help organizations in the Netherlands of every size and across every industry-including the Netherlands' thriving startup and SME sector-innovate with data and AI to boost productivity, resilience, and sustainable growth."
This investment will see Oracle expanding its OCI footprint in the Netherlands to help organizations in key local industries such as financial services, logistics, life sciences, and energy migrate all types of workloads to the cloud, modernize their applications, and leverage the latest AI innovations.
