Singapore’s Multibillion-Dollar Wafers
Micron Technology broke ground in January for what will become Singapore’s first double-story advanced wafer fabrication facility. The $24 billion investment will introduce vital operations to support the company’s NAND Center of Excellence in the country. Growing demand for NAND technology across AI and data center applications has driven new investment. Construction will deliver 700,000 sq. ft. of cleanroom space as Micron prepares to begin wafer output by mid-2028. This new facility will follow the opening of the company’s high-bandwidth memory advanced packaging facility at the complex in 2027.
The new data center will become operational in 2027, creating 30 new roles.

More Than Digital Infrastructure
Real estate investment company Claesson & Anderzén (CA Group) has announced plans to construct a new 100-megawatt AI data center in Denmark. The Sweden-based company will locate the project at the circular industrial park, GreenLab, in Skive, Denmark. “Our goal has always been to be able to integrate large energy users into our green industrial park and reduce strain on the power grid,” said GreenLab CEO Thomas Helsgaun. “The scale of this project highlights the strategic importance of industrial symbioses and microgrids when building the energy system of the future.” CA Group’s over 400,000-sq.-ft., two-story data center will serve as a key backup system to support the park’s grid balance and flexibility.
Once complete, Vetter’s project in Saarland will create up to 2,000 jobs.

Better For Vetter
By 2031, contract development and manufacturing organization Vetter Pharma will begin fresh production activity in southwest Germany. Vetter acquired a 95-acre site in the Saarland region in 2024 and plans to start construction on the new $566 million manufacturing facility by Q2 2026. “Long-term success derives from striking the right balance between stability and expansion,” said Vetter Pharma Board of Directors Chairman Udo J. Vetter (pictured with Minister-President of Saarland Anke Rehlinger). “With our investments in the state of Saarland, we are strengthening our commitment to Germany’s economic landscape while reaffirming our engagement as a strategic partner to the global pharmaceutical market.”

A Location Ideal for Sungrow(th)
Global photovoltaic inverter and energy storage system provider Sungrow is looking to gain proximity to its European customers and ensure supply chain stability for the continent’s renewable energy activity. In February 2026, the company announced an over $273 million investment in Poland’s Wałbrzych Special Economic Zone where it will construct a more than 700,000-sq.-ft. manufacturing facility, supporting large-scale production of up to 20-gigawatt inverters and 12.5-gigawatt-hour energy storage systems. Construction will take a year to complete, creating 400 new jobs once operational in 2027. “Lower Silesia’s history of skilled technical expertise in electronics, automation and advanced manufacturing made it the prime location for our new factory,” said Sungrow Europe President Shawn Shi.
