Local authorities & territories
Boost your territory's appeal with data centers that are sovereign, sustainable and value-creating.
As an independent trusted advisor, we help elected officials and public decision-makers understand, frame and master data center projects.
A strategic opportunity
A data center on your territory means three levers to activate together
Digital sovereignty
Data infrastructure mastered locally, serving the resilience and technological independence of the territory.
Economic appeal
Investment, skilled jobs, lasting tax revenue, and a place on the French and European digital map.
Energy transition
Renewable energy and waste-heat recovery, integrated into your territorial decarbonation strategy.
01 — Why now
Data centers are redrawing the economic map of territories
Demand for compute capacity (cloud, AI, data sovereignty) is soaring. Territories that organise to host it today gain a head start — provided they keep control.
Data sovereignty
Host the strategic data of public and private players locally, close to where it is used.
Direct economic impact
Long-term investment, job creation and new tax revenue for the local authority.
Energy optimisation
Coupling with renewables and waste-heat recovery to supply networks and buildings.
Digital attractiveness
A connected territory that draws in companies, talent and innovation ecosystems.
02 — The opportunity
Value to capture… if you keep control
Hosting a data center is not just a land question. It is a strategic decision whose value depends on the framework you set.
Lasting tax resources
We are experts in assessing the tax impact of the digital industry on your territory.
Digital reindustrialisation
Turning brownfields and business zones into high-value digital assets.
Infrastructure synergies
Bringing together the energy and fibre networks already present on the territory.
03 — Our approach
Turnkey support, from strategy to operation
A single point of contact to structure the decision and secure every stage of the project.
- 01
Territorial feasibility study
Assessing potential: land, energy, networks, acceptability and local stakes.
- 02
Land & energy sourcing
Identifying relevant sites and available power connection points.
- 03
Technical & environmental design
Sizing, energy efficiency, and landscape and regulatory integration.
- 04
Economic modelling
Assessing returns, the investment model and negotiation conditions.
- 05
Project steering
Coordinating stakeholders, from siting through to commissioning.
A single point of contact, from strategy to operation.
04 — Our commitment
A strategic, independent and educational approach
When we advise a local authority, we defend its interests exclusively, giving it the keys to an informed decision.
Independent advice
On any given project, we do not represent any operator when acting as adviser to the local authority.
Objective, clear analysis
An independent assessment framework to evaluate each project on the facts.
Trust and dialogue
An educational stance that eases dialogue with citizens and operators.
Stronger political credibility
A documented, defensible decision that secures public action.
05 — Sustainable & responsible
Data centers serving the territory's transition
A data center's footprint can become a resource: well designed, it powers the territory instead of merely drawing on it.
Lower carbon footprint
Frugal design, low-carbon power and energy-efficiency steering (PUE).
Waste-heat recovery
Channelling heat to district networks, pools, greenhouses or public buildings.
Integration with territorial strategies
Alignment with your climate-air-energy plans and transition goals.
06 — Use cases
The best-positioned territories
Some territorial contexts offer particularly strong potential for a successful project.
Industrial zones in transition
Brownfields and business zones to be turned into digital assets.
High renewable-energy potential
Access to abundant, competitive renewable energy.
Proximity to fibre hubs
Existing connectivity and high-performance network connection points.
Sovereignty strategy
Authorities committed to digital resilience and independence.
07 — Why Digital2060
A partner to structure complex decisions
Strategic & technical expertise
Dual mastery of project structuring and data center engineering.
Long-term vision — 2060 horizon
Decisions built to last beyond the mandate and technology cycles.
Public-private partnerships
Used to aligning the public interest with economic stakeholders.
Accelerating complex projects
A method that saves time where projects tend to stall.
08 — Key figures
What a project can represent for your territory
Average investment per project
Direct & indirect jobs
CO₂ reduction through heat recovery
Energy capacity valorised
Indicative orders of magnitude — to be refined during the framing workshop.
First step
A no-commitment first step
Before any decision, we set out a shared diagnosis and an independent reading of the opportunity for your territory.
- Shared diagnosis of territorial potential
- Independent project assessment framework
- Support in negotiating with operators
- Support for the final decision, in full autonomy
