These types of projects play a key role in driving electrification and digitalization in our societies,” said Jyrki Holappa, customer site development director at Fortum.
“The Nordic market, and Finland specifically, offers unique advantages that align perfectly with our commitment to sustainable, high-density infrastructure,” said Markus Päivinen, Nscale’s managing director for Finland and Baltics. “We look forward to contributing to the local economy, collaborating with local energy providers, and delivering cutting-edge compute capacity that will fuel the next generation of digital services in Finland throughout Europe."
