NorthC Datacenters is a regional colocation and connectivity provider operating a network of data centers across the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland. As of late 2025/early 2026, NorthC operates 25 colocation data centers across these three countries with more than 140 MW of secured gross grid capacity across existing and greenfield sites. Rather than building a handful of giant hyperscale campuses, NorthC’s model is deliberately regional: mid-sized facilities placed in secondary economic hubs (Nuremberg, Winterthur, Biel, Groningen) as well as capital and financial-center markets (Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Zurich), all tied together via its own “Region Connect” fiber backbone so customers can reach the same cloud and network partners from any site. The company was formed in 2020 through the merger of two Dutch operators, The Datacenter Group and NLDC, and grew via organic buildouts plus acquisitions in Germany (IP Exchange, 2021) and Switzerland (Netrics, 2022; a Kyndryl facility in Winterthur, 2023; sites from Colt Technology Services, 2025). In late 2025, private equity firm Antin Infrastructure Partners agreed to acquire NorthC from DWS and minority shareholders in a deal valued at roughly €2 billion, completing in March 2026, with plans to keep building new sites in Frankfurt, Basel, and Geneva.

By Continent
AI Data Centers
NorthC's AI-related infrastructure work is concentrated so far at its Rotterdam Zestienhoven facility in the Netherlands, where it has partnered with Intermax and iXora on immersion cooling, fully submerging servers in liquid to handle the higher heat loads of AI workloads. More broadly, following its 2026 change in ownership under Antin Infrastructure Partners, NorthC said it intends to use its 140+ MW of secured capacity across the network to meet growing demand for AI inference workloads, though most individual sites are still marketed primarily around general colocation, connectivity, and sustainability rather than AI-specific specs.
