BERLIN (Reuters) -Google said it would announce its biggest-ever investment project for Germany on Tuesday alongside German Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil.
The U.S. tech giant said its plan would involve the construction of “infrastructure and data centres,” as well as pushing ahead with “innovative projects for the use of renewable energies and waste heat,” according to an invitation to the press conference sent on Thursday.
Google also wants to expand its locations in Munich, Frankfurt and Berlin, it added.
When contacted by Reuters, a government official said Google would be “investing billions in Germany and will be addressing real issues of the future with innovations, artificial intelligence and climate-neutral transformation”.
The official added that the government would further improve competitive conditions and secure jobs through structural reforms.
