구글, 핀란드에 130억 유로 투자…유럽 최대 규모

Did you know that a computer needs to keep cool? Big technology companies store millions of files. These files need special buildings called data centres. Now Google is building something huge in Finland.

Google announced a giant project. The project costs 13 billion euros. That is a lot of money! Finland will get this data centre. It is Google's biggest investment in all of Europe. No other project like this is bigger.

Why does Google pick Finland? Finland is cold. Cold weather helps keep computers cool. Computers work better when they are cold. Finland also has lots of clean power. Power comes from wind and water. This power is good for the planet.

The data centre will create many jobs. Tens of thousands of people will get work. Some will build the centre. Others will work inside it. These jobs will help many families. Small towns will grow. People will move to Finland for this work.

This is good news for Finland. Big companies choose places where they can grow. Finland now looks like a smart place for technology. Other companies may come too. One big investment can change a country. A country can become famous for technology. Then more companies want to come.

Think about this: Where does your internet go? Every email, photo, and video lives in a data centre somewhere. Today we know one big centre will be in Finland. This centre will serve millions of people in Europe. Cold, clean, and smart — that is why Google chose Finland.
