Verne (formerly Verne Global) is a Nordic-focused colocation and high-performance-computing data center operator best known for its flagship campus on a former NATO base near Keflavík, Iceland, which it has run since 2012. Verne Global operates a single data center campus on a former NATO site near Keflavik, Iceland, powered by 100% renewable energy from local hydroelectric and geothermal sources. Since a 2021 acquisition by Digital 9 Infrastructure (D9) and a 2022 rebrand that folded in Finnish operator Ficolo, the company’s footprint has expanded to include three additional sites in Finland and a connectivity-focused facility in London. Ficolo brought 23 MW of available data center capacity to the Verne Global platform, with the potential to expand to 90 MW across its three sites in Helsinki (‘the Air’), Pori (‘the Rock’) and Tampere (‘the Deck’). The company positions itself around sustainability and high-density compute: the company’s Nordic data centers, located in Iceland and Finland, are powered by 100 percent renewable energy, optimised for high-performance computing, artificial intelligence and other resource intensive workloads. As of 2025-2026, the Iceland campus continues to expand, with D9 funding further data hall construction to meet demand from enterprise and HPC/AI customers.
Verne Global operates as a cloud provider and colocation provider, with facilities at the following locations:

Verne Global AI Data Centers
Verne's clearest AI-optimized site is its flagship Iceland campus near Keflavík, which industry facility listings describe as purpose-built to support high-density workloads including high performance computing and AI models, running on a 140+MW power base. The company's own materials similarly describe its Nordic sites (Iceland and Finland) as optimized for HPC, AI, and other resource-intensive workloads, though the more specific 'built for AI models' language is tied to the Iceland campus itself rather than the Finnish sites.

Common Questions
Does Verne have AI-optimized data center infrastructure?
Yes — the flagship Iceland campus near Keflavík is described as purpose-built for high-density workloads including AI models, not just general colocation. Independent facility listings note that the 140+MW campus is designed to support high performance computing and AI training workloads specifically.
Where does Verne operate physical data centers?
Verne's real facilities are concentrated in the Nordics: a large flagship campus near Keflavík, Iceland, and three Finnish sites in Vantaa ('The Air', Helsinki metro area), Pori ('The Rock'), and Tampere ('The Deck'), acquired via the 2022 Ficolo deal. It also operates a smaller, connectivity-focused data center in London, UK.
Is Verne's Iceland campus powered by renewable energy?
Yes — the campus runs entirely on Iceland's geothermal and hydroelectric power, which the company and independent press both cite as a key differentiator for sustainability-minded HPC and enterprise customers.
Who owns Verne Global?
Verne Global was acquired by Digital 9 Infrastructure plc (D9) in September 2021, in a deal reported to be worth roughly £231 million (~$313 million), and has since been expanded and rebranded under D9's backing.
