Google to invest around $6 billion in Germany: sources

Alphabet’s Google will invest around 5 billion euros ($5.8 billion) in Germany, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Tuesday, in a push to expand its infrastructure and data centre capacity in Europe’s largest economy.

The plans include a new data centre in Dietzenbach, close to Frankfurt, and the expansion of a Google site in the city of Hanau, in the same area, a second source said.

Another source said earlier that the plans foresee investments of “a mid-single-digit billion euro amount”.
