Right now, there is a heated discussion about data centers being built in Finland. It is also important to remember that existing capacity can be utilized, making Finland an attractive market in this regard as well. New data centers are rapidly being established across Europe to meet the growing demand for data usage, especially with the rise of artificial intelligence. Finland stands out thanks to its cost-effective energy, available space, natural cooling, and high-quality telecommunications infrastructure, says Juha Syrjänen, Director of Digita Data Centers.
Finland is home to over 50 data centers, and the number continues to grow. The Finnish Data Center Association (FDCA) estimates that approximately 2GW of new data center capacity will be announced in Finland in the near future.
