Forecast Your Region's Digital Infrastructure Needs with Precision

Our Regional Digital Capacity Planning Tool transforms abstract digitalization goals into concrete infrastructure requirements. Developed through our research for the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection, this sophisticated planning instrument enables policymakers to forecast the estimated digital resource needs through 2045 across all economic sectors.

Move Beyond Guesswork

Traditional infrastructure planning relies on generalized growth projections that fail to capture the complex relationship between economic activity, digitalization rates, and infrastructure requirements. Our planning tool breaks this complexity down into actionable insights:

• Sector-specific digital resource requirements based on industry composition

• Granular projections of computing, storage and network capacity needs

• Integration of efficiency trends and technological advancement scenarios

• Translation of digital requirements into physical infrastructure needs

Strategic Digital Infrastructure Planning

The tool enables unprecedented precision in answering critical questions:

• How much computing capacity (digital resources) will your region need in 2035?

• Which economic sectors will drive digital resource demand?

• How will emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence affect infrastructure requirements?

• Where should digital infrastructure be strategically located?

• How can digital and energy infrastructure planning be harmonized?

Comprehensive Planning Integration

Our Digital Capacity Planning Tool provides:

• Sector-specific digitalization demand forecasting based on regional economic composition

• Integration methodology for aligning with economic development strategies

• Spatial planning considerations for optimal infrastructure placement

• Energy system integration modeling to synchronize with power infrastructure

• Long-term capacity roadmapping with clearly defined investment stages

Evidence-Based Infrastructure Decisions

Our research shows that regions using traditional planning approaches consistently misallocate digital infrastructure investments—either overbuilding capacity that remains underutilized or facing critical shortages that constrain economic growth.

With our tool, one industrial region reduced projected infrastructure costs by €43M by precisely matching capacity to actual needs, while another identified a critical capacity shortfall that would have constrained AI adoption in its manufacturing sector.

Plan Your Region's Digital Future with Confidence

In an era of rapid technological change and limited resources, precision planning is essential for digital infrastructure investments that deliver maximum economic benefit.
