Switzerland’s Digital Infrastructure Scales New Heights with 1.76 Million Sq. Ft. of Colocation Space

Switzerland’s data center market continues to expand, supported by strong colocation activity and strategic developments across key cities. As of December 2024, the country’s total core and shell white floor area added by colocation operators surpassed 1.76 million square feet, with 76% utilization. Zurich continues to lead as the country’s main data center hub, while Basel and Geneva are emerging as attractive growth corridors. Anchoring Zurich’s innovation landscape is Technopark Zürich, a key business park fostering advancements in AI research, robotics, mobility, and aerospace technologies.

In line with this momentum, in March 2025, NorthC relaunched its Winterthur data center, covering around 11,840 square feet, with expansion plans underway. The market is witnessing more greenfield developments, driven by ample industrial land availability. However, as more facilities come online, the area per MW is expected to decline in the next three to four years, potentially leading to higher industrial land prices.

 

Switzerland Powers Ahead with 100% Clean Energy to Fuel Its Net-Zero Future

Switzerland’s data center market is evolving in step with the country’s strong renewable energy vision. The nation benefits from a rich mix of hydro, solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal resources, enabling it to produce almost 100% of its electricity from low-carbon sources in 2024. With a goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, Switzerland continues to strengthen its clean energy framework. In June 2024, the government approved new laws to ensure a secure and affordable power supply by boosting electricity generation from renewable sources. As data center demand continues to rise, operators across Switzerland are increasingly integrating renewable power into their operations, reflecting the sector’s proactive role in reducing carbon footprints and supporting the country’s green energy transition.

 

AI Investments Double in Switzerland, Signaling Strong and Sustained Market Demand

Switzerland is strengthening its position as a global center for responsible AI innovation. Despite a slowdown in startup funding in 2024, AI-focused startups doubled their investments, signaling deep investor confidence in the country’s technological direction. The healthcare sector remains at the forefront, integrating AI into medical imaging and diagnostics to enhance precision and patient outcomes. In a landmark move, the Swiss government announced plans in February 2025 to adopt the Council of Europe’s Convention on Artificial Intelligence, reaffirming its commitment to innovation leadership, ethical AI governance, and public trust. This strategic policy alignment, combined with accelerating AI adoption across industries, is reshaping Switzerland’s digital infrastructure priorities. Data center operators are now investing heavily in AI-ready, low-carbon facilities, positioning the nation as a strategic hub for sustainable and intelligent data ecosystems.

 

Enterprise Demand Drives Switzerland’s Next Phase of Cloud Growth

Switzerland is rapidly emerging as a key destination for data center and cloud investments, supported by strong digital infrastructure and growing enterprise demand. The surge in cloud computing adoption has opened new opportunities for global and local players to expand operations across the country. This growth is being driven by government-led digital initiatives, rising cybersecurity priorities, and the ongoing digital transformation across sectors.

The country’s public cloud market is gaining momentum as industries such as BFSI, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail accelerate their shift to cloud-based operations. A notable example is AXA Switzerland, which leverages Google Cloud’s analytics solutions to enhance decision-making and customer experience, reflecting how data-driven transformation is reshaping business competitiveness. With sustained investment activity and an expanding base of cloud users, Switzerland’s data center ecosystem is well-positioned to become a cornerstone of Europe’s next phase of digital growth.
