Readiness across Europe
Composite data center readiness tier by country. Greener = more ready.
How the index reads
All 27 EU member states ranked on greenfield data-centre readiness. The rank-based composite is the headline; the geometric-mean composite is a non-compensatory robustness check that punishes any single severe bottleneck, exposing “spiky” profiles that look strong on average but are crippled on one dimension.
Where Europe is most divided
Spread of the 27 countries’ scores within each dimension (0–100). The widest bands are where readiness most separates the field; the narrowest are broadly shared.
Rank vs. geometric-mean composite
Spearman ρ = 0.82Points near the diagonal agree under both methods. 11 of 27 countries are missing at least one indicator in some dimension.
Readiness is a moving target.
Grid queues clear, moratoria lift, and weights are recalibrated with every release. The Index is built to be reproducible and auditable, so each ranking reflects the operating environment as it stands today, not last year's footprint. See exactly how it's built, scored and sourced.
