Finland - A Prime Destination for Data Centre Development

Data centres are critical infrastructures that store, process, and distribute large amounts of data for various purposes. They require high levels of reliability, security, efficiency, and sustainability. Finland has a reliable energy supply with ample amounts of green energy readily available as well as in the pipeline for the coming years. As a northern country, Finland has almost year-round use for waste heat generated by data centres, which can be used locally in district heating systems.
