Status: Active Development / Permitted Master-Planned Campus Phase | Location: Parc E-Logistique Épinoy-Cambrai (Base Aérienne 103), 62860 Épinoy, France
The DATA4 Cambrai Data Center Campus is a planned hyperscale digital infrastructure development located at the Parc E-Logistique Épinoy-Cambrai, on the former Base Aérienne 103 site in Épinoy, Hauts-de-France, France. Backed by Brookfield Asset Management, the proposed campus represents a major potential investment in Northern France's expanding digital infrastructure ecosystem. The development is associated with ambitions to establish a large-scale computing hub supporting the region's emerging AI infrastructure sector, including high-density generative artificial intelligence workloads, sovereign cloud services, and enterprise computing. Its extensive site provides opportunities for multiple data hall facilities, supporting electrical infrastructure, advanced cooling systems, and high-capacity telecommunications networks. The campus's proposed scale could enable phased construction to accommodate growing demand for hyperscale cloud services, AI model training, high-performance computing, and data-intensive applications. Its location in Hauts-de-France could also strengthen France's digital infrastructure footprint beyond established data center markets while supporting regional economic development and investment. The redevelopment of the former military airbase for digital infrastructure offers an opportunity to repurpose a substantial site for technology-led industrial activity. However, a development of this scale would require significant electricity capacity, reliable grid connections, resilient fiber connectivity, and cooling infrastructure capable of supporting power-intensive computing equipment. Energy efficiency and access to low-carbon electricity will be important considerations for long-term operational sustainability. The campus could contribute to European efforts to expand domestic computing capacity and strengthen digital sovereignty, subject to the project's final development plans and operational specifications. Although the development has been described as gigawatt-scale, its confirmed IT capacity, electrical demand, total investment, construction phases, and commissioning schedule should be verified through official project documentation. These details will be essential for establishing the campus's eventual scale and assessing its potential role in Northern France's AI and hyperscale computing landscape.
