Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Microsoft President Brad Smith presented a $ 1 billion investment in Greece.
Greece is the first professional destination of Mr. Smith following the outbreak of the pandemic, while our country was his last destination before the coronavirus pandemic.
The information notes that the investment concerns the creation of a large data center to support cloud services aimed at customers of the Microsoft Azure platform. The specific data center that will be created in Attica is expected to have coverage in the wider region of SE Europe. The investment is estimated to be 400 million euros, although its added value is estimated to reach 1 billion euros.
Mr. Mitsotakis’ first meeting with Mr. Smith was held on January 23 in Davos, followed by another appointment in Athens on January 27.
As Mr. Smith pointed out, this is “the biggest investment in the 28 years of Microsoft in Greece”, adding that “it shows trust in the people, the economy and the government”.
