## Resource

Google is making a colossal move in Finland, pledging thirteen billion euros over two years to supercharge its AI infrastructure — the biggest such investment in Europe. The deal includes securing up to half the output from a Finnish nuclear plant for two decades, marking Google’s first-ever nuclear energy pact outside the U.S. This strategic combo of cold-climate cooling and clean, reliable power positions Finland as a global AI hub, while also fueling services like Search, Maps, and YouTube. With Microsoft and ByteDance eyeing the same spot, this isn’t just about servers — it’s about building the digital future of Europe, one data center at a time.
