Can Europe build AI datacenters though?

Europe has no wafer production and no companies that produce GPUs.

That means it is dependent on Taiwan for wafers and the USA for GPU design.

Then there is the question wether there is a will to invest. Gemini gives me this list of publicly traded companies in the US and what they invested in AI infrastructure in 2025:

    Amazon: $100B
    Alphabet: $90B
    Microsoft: $80B
    Meta: $70B
    Tesla: $20B
For Europe, I get this list:

    Deutsche Telekom: $1B
