In recent years, M247 Europe has invested more than €13.5 million in IT infrastructure to enable its customers digital transformation journeys providing secure data management and connectivity solutions.

These characteristics have resulted in M247 announcing a 9% increase in turnover at the end of 2023 to €26.8 million.
"The investments already made in the capacity expansion of our data centres have played an important role in the evolution of M247 revenues in 2023. An important role was also played by the recruitment of a significant number of new customers from a variety of fields, against the backdrop of increased digitisation in the business environment," said Gherasim Briceag, CFO of M247 Europe.
"2024 will be shaped by the evolution of AI services. We see interest in such solutions across all industries. These technologies and impacts are still in their infancy, and we are at the bottom of the growth curve. These solutions require immense computational power and data storage capacity along with high-spec data centres with power resources to match the demands of the GPU requirements. M247 Europe is in a good position to provide customers with A! enabling solutions’" adds Martin Ford CEO, M247 International.
