atNorth is a Nordic data center operator that sells high-density colocation and build-to-suit hosting across Iceland, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark, with a further site recently announced in Norway. As of 2026 the company operates eight live data centers with several more under construction, leaning on the region’s cold climate, renewable power, and political stability to court energy-intensive AI and HPC workloads. Its facilities in Iceland (Keflavík and Akureyri) already host GPU-heavy AI cloud customers like Crusoe and run at a reported PUE of 1.2, making atNorth one of the more AI-credentialed colocation names in Europe despite being far smaller in footprint than global colocation giants. The company was spun out of IT services group Advania in 2017, rebranded from Advania Data Centers to atNorth in 2020, and was acquired by Swiss investor Partners Group in 2022; in 2026 Partners Group agreed to sell atNorth to Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Equinix at a reported $4 billion enterprise value, underscoring how quickly the Nordic AI-infrastructure buildout has been valued.

FIN01 is located in the Vallila district of Helsinki and was one of two Finnish facilities atNorth acquired from Advania to launch its Finland operations. - Kouvola, Finland FIN04 PENDING REVIEW
FIN04, located near Kouvola (in the Myllykoski area) roughly 140km northeast of Helsinki, has immediate power supply and could expand to several hundred megawatts as it develops. - Akureyri, Iceland ICE03AI DATA CENTER TIER III PENDING REVIEW
ICE03 opened in June 2023 as atNorth's third Tier 3 facility in Iceland and was expanded shortly after by an additional 16MW to meet HPC/AI demand. - Hafnarfjörður, Iceland ICE01 TIER III PENDING REVIEW
ICE01 is one of atNorth's original Icelandic sites and hosts long-standing customer Advania, whose workloads have been based there since before atNorth's spinout from Advania. - Reykjanesbær, Iceland ICE02AI DATA CENTER TIER III PENDING REVIEW
ICE02, near Keflavík International Airport, has drawn AI cloud provider Crusoe to expand its GPU-based operations at the site. - Göteborg, Sweden SWE03 PENDING REVIEW
SWE03 was originally a Gompute facility in Gothenburg that atNorth took over when it acquired the HPC provider Gompute in 2023, and it features two data rooms totaling roughly 900 square meters. - Stockholm, Sweden SWE01 PENDING REVIEW
SWE01 sits in Kista, a Stockholm suburb described as within Europe's largest Information and Communications Technology cluster.
By Continent
AI Data Centers
atNorth's clearest AI-optimized infrastructure sits in Iceland, where its ICE02 campus near Keflavík has become a hub for GPU cloud provider Crusoe, which has expanded its footprint there. Both the ICE02 and ICE03 (Akureyri) sites are built for high-density compute, running at a reported PUE of around 1.2 and supporting both air and direct liquid cooling for demanding AI and HPC clusters. More broadly, atNorth's newer mega-site announcements in Finland, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway are explicitly pitched around AI and hyperscale power capacity, though those sites are still in construction or land-acquisition stages rather than confirmed as operational AI deployments today.
