Frankfurt is projected to overtake London as Europe's leading colocation datacenter hub by 2031, driven by AI demand and data sovereignty concerns. Germany will surpass the UK at the national level, while Ireland leads in hyperscale capacity. The European datacenter industry faces a revised 17% CAGR growth forecast through 2031, adding 5-6 gigawatts beyond previous estimates. Key challenges include power access, land availability, and a critical skills shortage requiring 2.6 times current staffing levels. The shift reflects EU policy signals encouraging capital reallocation toward continental Europe for resilience and sovereignty.
