Merlin Edged has launched a data center in Barcelona, inaugurated today by the Mayor of Barcelona, Jaume Collboni, and Albert Tort, Secretary of Telecommunications and Digital Transformation of the Government at Generalitat de Catalunya. This facility will be used by neocloud Coreweave.
"We'll make our decision on exactly the mix of what we deploy here at a later date," CoreWeave's international GM Mike Mattacola said. "We'll make a decision a little bit closer to the time when we plan to launch capacity, but it will be really looking at what the market needs. So if you look at the demand in Europe today, obviously there's quite a bit of training demand, but that's going to pretty quickly flip to inference."
Mayor Jaume Collboni added: "This asset represents the realization of a shared vision: to transform Barcelona into a true digital port in the Mediterranean, and into an international benchmark for the digital economy and technological innovation. A forward-looking infrastructure, built to address the technological challenges of the future as they arise."
