Today Microsoft is taking a major step as part of their Digital AmBEtion Plan. In order to boost the digitalization of Belgian institutions and corporations, Microsoft will be opening 3 data centers in our region. And we played a big part in making that happen. Want to find out how we pulled it off? We're more than happy to tell you.

At Arxus, we've been involved in Microsoft's Digital AmBEtion initiative for quite some time. A while back, we started working on the expansion of the Belgian data center region as an “Inside Partner”. And together with Microsoft, we'll be helping to shape these new data centers in the coming months and years.
In order to do this, we'll be applying the latest innovations, like confidential compute and low-latency connectivity. But we are also looking at other scenarios, together with our customers and partners, to accelerate the digitalization of our society as fast as possible.
On launch day, our colleague Jochen Van Gasse spoke with Erik Kerkhofs, Director Commercial Partner at Microsoft, and Dirk Deroost, CEO of De Cronos Groep. They shared their thoughts on this ambitious plan with us.
Thanks to this huge investment in the digitalization of our country, Microsoft is providing answers to some of the most pressing questions in many different sectors:
At Arxus, we look far beyond IT alone. For us, creating impactful solutions for society, achieving sustainable economic growth and helping people develop digital skills are equally important. That's why we are extremely proud that we had the opportunity to collaborate on this historic project from Microsoft.
And in the future, we want to keep going for this too. Let's build the society of the future together.
We're thrilled to tell you all about the new Belgian data center region. And how your organization could benefit from it.
