Digital Ecosystem Development Framework
The Digital Ecosystem Development Framework helps regions maximize economic benefits from data center investments by integrating them with IT services, potentially creating 35-140 jobs per MW and increasing tax revenues significantly. Traditional approaches often fail to capture the full potential, but this framework offers tailored models and strategic guidance for sustainable growth.

Transform Your Region's Digital Future
Our Digital Ecosystem Development Framework helps policymakers strategically build thriving digital ecosystems that maximize economic benefits from data center investments. While traditional approaches focus solely on attracting large data centers, our framework shows how to create integrated ecosystems that capture 5-7× more value through higher-tier digital services.
Beyond Basic Infrastructure
Data centers alone create only 3-9 jobs per Megawatt (MW) of energy allocated. But when strategically integrated with IT service providers and digital businesses, the same infrastructure can generate 35-140 jobs per MW while increasing tax revenues and fostering innovation.
Based on our groundbreaking research for the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection, this framework offers:
Tailored regional models for urban centers, mid-sized municipalities, and rural areas
Strategic investment guidance to maximize value capture from digital infrastructure
Integration strategies connecting physical infrastructure with high-value digital services
Implementation roadmaps customized to your region's economic profile
Why Traditional Approaches Fall Short
Our research reveals that 75% of regions fail to capture the full economic potential of their digital infrastructure investments because they focus exclusively on physical data centers rather than the entire value chain.
Real-World Impact
Regions implementing our framework have achieved:
40% higher job creation from digital infrastructure investments
3.5× greater tax revenue from the same energy allocated
Significant improvements in talent retention and local innovation
