Europe's 2026 Data Centre Build Out:

Talent, Timelines & Constraints

By the end of 2025, Europe’s data centre industry was operating at full throttle. AI workloads exploded, cloud pipelines scaled, and developers fought for the three critical resources of modern infrastructure: power, land, and fibre.

As 2026 begins, the sector enters a new phase of accelerated growth but a critical question hangs over the market:

"Can Europe keep pace with global demand?"

And if not, what will the consequences be for the broader industry?

If you’re responsible for strategy, hiring, capacity planning, or future-proofing your business, this guide is built to keep you ahead of the curve... not scrambling to catch up.
