Future regional – digital: Feasibility study on data infrastructures in the Rhenish mining area

Feasibility study on the requirements and potential for a hyperscale data center with integrated data hub and connected digital park for the state of NRW

On behalf of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Innovation, Digitization and Energy of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, a feasibility study was conducted with the participation of WIK-Consult on the question of whether and, if so, where in the Rhineland area the conditions and potential for a hyperscale data center with integrated data hub and connected digital park are given. Together with GWS, WIK-Consult modeled the effects of locating the data center and digital park on the regional gross domestic product and employment by means of an input-output analysis.

The study (only in German language) is available for download.
