The Government of Bermuda today welcomed the landing of Google’s Nuvem and Sol subsea cable systems in Bermuda, describing the milestone as a significant investment in the island’s digital infrastructure, economic resilience, and long-term competitiveness.
Speaking at the Subsea Cable Landing Ceremony, Premier David Burt said the project reinforces Bermuda’s growing role as a trusted and strategically located hub for global connectivity.
The Nuvem and Sol cable systems will strengthen international connectivity, enhance network resilience, and support the growing demand for secure, reliable digital infrastructure worldwide.
The Premier noted that while the technology itself is impressive, the true significance of the project lies in what it means for Bermuda’s future.
As Bermuda continues to strengthen its position in international business, insurance and reinsurance, fintech, digital assets, and other emerging sectors, world-class digital infrastructure will play an increasingly important role in supporting economic growth and attracting investment. The Government believes projects such as Nuvem and Sol help ensure Bermuda remains competitive in a rapidly evolving global economy.
The Government also emphasised the importance of resilience for island jurisdictions.
The Government welcomed Google’s decision to include Bermuda as part of this major international infrastructure project and expressed appreciation to all partners involved in bringing the initiative to fruition.
David Burt, Premier of Bermuda
For centuries, Bermuda’s location in the Atlantic has been one of our greatest strengths. Today, that advantage continues to position our island at the centre of the connections that drive the global economy. This investment will create opportunities for Bermudians, support innovation, attract investment, and ensure our island is prepared for the industries and jobs of the future. In an increasingly digital world, resilience is no longer optional. Reliable connectivity is critical for business continuity, economic security, disaster preparedness, and maintaining Bermuda’s competitiveness on the global stage.
Kendaree Burgess, Managing Director of Bermuda Business Development Agency
Major infrastructure investment does not happen by accident. It follows sustained work to engage the market, build confidence, and show global investors that Bermuda has the ambition, credibility and operating environment to support projects of this scale. This milestone reinforces the message we have been taking to international markets: Bermuda is not only strategically located; it is organised, serious and ready to compete for critical digital infrastructure investment.
