As the global demand for digital infrastructure accelerates, the conversation is shifting beyond servers, fiber networks, and real estate. Increasingly, the defining factor behind where digital infrastructure can grow is energy. For Data Center Youngbloods (DCYB), Greece offers a compelling example of that evolution. By studying Mykonos and the surrounding islands firsthand, the company sees a region that illustrates how renewable energy, grid modernization, and digital infrastructure are becoming deeply interconnected. Rather than viewing Greece solely as a tourism destination, DCYB believes the country’s islands provide valuable insight into the future of infrastructure development and workforce readiness. Greece’s Renewable Energy…
„Mir ist bewusst, dass das eine große Aufgabe ist“, sagte Linnemann auf der Pressekonferenz neben Merz und Warken. Er freue sich auf die Aufgabe. Der CDU-Politiker war bereits zu Beginn der Legislatur im Gespräch für ein Ministeramt. Der 48-Jährige sollte ursprünglich Wirtschaftsminister werden, lehnte die Position aber ab. Er wäre lieber Arbeitsminister geworden, wie er der „Welt“ sagte (hier). Das Ressort ging aber an die SPD. Warken will Reformkurs fortsetzen „Ich freue mich, den Reformkurs, den wir jetzt begonnen und gut auf den Weg gebracht haben, mit der Bundesregierung weiter voranzutreiben“, sagte die künftige Kanzleramtschefin Warken. Die CDU-Politikerin blickt auf…
Published on 24/07/2026 – 9:14 GMT+2 German Socialist MEP Bernd Lange, chair of the European Parliament’s trade committee, told Euronews that the EU should brace for further action from the US following the €890 million fine imposed on Google by the European Commission on Thursday. Tensions escalated across the Atlantic after US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the fine was “unreasonable” and created “uncertainty” for US-EU trade. Brussels imposed the fine on the tech giant under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which is designed to curb Big Tech’s dominance in the EU’s digital markets and has been a repeated target…

Published on 23/07/2026 – 17:31 GMT+2•Updated 24/07/2026 – 7:01 GMT+2 Montenegro backs new safeguards to stop future EU members backsliding on the rule of law and democratic standards, but only if they rest on objective criteria for assessing systemic breaches, the country’s ambassador to the EU has told Euronews. Montenegro is the most advanced candidate country in the accession process, aiming to become the 28th EU member state in 2028. But its bid might be complicated by a string of proposals to overhaul how enlargement works. Chief among them: five of the six EU founding members have called for stronger…
Published on 24/07/2026 – 8:05 GMT+2 The head coach of the Spanish national team, Luis de la Fuente, has strongly criticised the behaviour of several Argentina players following Spain’s victory in the World Cup final. In an interview with Spanish public broadcaster TVE, de la Fuente described Argentina’s actions after the final whistle as “intolerable and unacceptable” and praised his own players for keeping their composure. “At the time I didn’t realise, because I was celebrating with other people, hugging team-mates. In any case, I find it intolerable and unacceptable from players of that calibre, whom I had been praising…
Snake-haired Gorgons, one-eyed Cyclops, beautiful men doomed by their own vanity… Greek mythology is not only foundational to Western literature, but has also served as a guidebook for humanity – endlessly fascinating in its fantastical but deeply relatable drama. The release of Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster adaptation of Homer’s epic The Odyssey has reignited interest, too. Having made $264m (€232m) in its opening weekend alone, the movie looks set to be one of the biggest box office successes of 2026. It’s also inspired people to go back to the original source material, with sales of print editions reportedly rising by 700%…
Roughly one-third of lawmakers from the president’s own party on Monday either voted against or abstained from voting on the law, after amendments were added at the last minute allowing France’s food and drug safety watchdog to approve the use of a controversial pesticide, acetamiprid, for nut producers and doubling the amount of water farmers can store over the next decade despite the threat of more climate change-induced droughts. “Politically, we’ve managed to turn a law with more than 70 articles into a fruitless, dogmatic debate,” said Jérémy Decerle, a member of the European Parliament representing Macron’s Renaissance party, and the former head…

Is France driving away its wealthy in vast numbers? The latest Henley & Partners Wealth Migration Report found that France saw a net loss of 800 millionaires in 2025. At first glance, it would seem that the wealthy are fleeing the country. However, for context, there are still 2.4 million individuals in France with a net worth of over €1 million, according to the UBS Global Wealth Report. While France remains an attractive place for the wealthy to live for obvious reasons such as its quality of life and joie de vivre, the overall trend, albeit small for now, is…
