Iliad's Scaleway expands to Italy with $3.4B AI investment to rival US cloud giants

Scaleway, a cloud service provider owned by France's Iliad, is opening a new cloud region in Milan as it seeks to compete with US technology giants in Europe. The company already operates cloud regions in France, Poland and the Netherlands, and plans to add locations in Sweden and Germany. Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud control around 70% of the EU cloud market, according to a European Parliament study. Scaleway aims to attract clients seeking a Europe-based alternative that complies with local regulations. CEO Damien Lucas said Europe cannot rely entirely on foreign hyperscalers to power its digital economy. Iliad disclosed plans last year to invest €3 billion in artificial intelligence infrastructure to support Scaleway's expansion.
