The UAE’s €40 billion German investment plan covers AI, digital infrastructure and energy, including approximately 1 gigawatt of data-center capacity.

The investment plan was announced during the UAE president’s state visit to Germany. The supplied report gives a total of €40 billion, with a reported equivalent of approximately $46.4 billion. Its stated scope includes AI, digital infrastructure and energy, alongside a separate announcement of plans for deeper defense cooperation.

The data-center component is approximately 1 gigawatt of additional capacity. This is described as part of the investment plan, not commissioned infrastructure or a disclosed operating load. The source does not specify whether the figure measures information-technology equipment load or total facility power capacity.

The report also identifies a geographic allocation within Germany. Approximately €10 billion is reportedly intended for Bavaria, which the message describes as an important industrial and technology center. It does not allocate that Bavarian amount among data centers, energy or other sectors.

The supplied information does not establish project-level financial close. No named data-center sites, operators, customers, hardware configurations, grid agreements or commissioning dates accompany the approximately 1-gigawatt figure. The €40 billion headline therefore remains an announced investment plan rather than verified expenditure or contracted compute capacity.
