Domingos Freire de Andrade has published an opinion article in Jornal de Negócios discussing the challenges and investment opportunities in the data centre sector, in light of the significant transformation in digital infrastructure driven by the digitalisation of the economy, artificial intelligence and digital sovereignty.
As these infrastructures play an increasingly central role, the article examines Portugal’s position within the European landscape, highlighting both the country’s competitive advantages and the challenges facing the sector.
The analysis also explores key investment trends and market developments, emphasising the importance of a strategic framework to enable Portugal to establish itself as a competitive destination in this space.
'Portugal possesses clear competitive advantages to position itself as a leading destination in Europe, but seizing this opportunity requires a strategic response.'
With this contribution, Domingos Freire de Andrade contributes to the ongoing debate around a critical sector for the future of the digital economy, whose evolution raises important questions for investors, operators and policymakers.
