Be a committed player in the local community
Inventor of the digital campus model in Europe usually located on abandoned brownfield sites, Data4 has operations in France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Germany and Greece.
We invest heavily in these regions, working hand in hand with local authorities and businesses, and forging partnerships with colleges, universities and Grandes Ecoles.
Inventor of the digital campus model in Europe, Data4 puts its expertise to work for local communities by developing projects in conjunction with local stakeholders to maximise social benefits while minimising its environmental impact.
