Verne (formerly Verne Global) is a Northern European colocation provider specializing in low-carbon, high-density data center space for high-performance computing (HPC) and AI workloads, operating campuses in Iceland and Finland powered by 100% renewable energy. As of 2025-2026 the company runs facilities in Keflavik, Iceland (a 140+MW campus on a former NATO base) and three Finnish sites — Vantaa, Tampere and Pori — with London serving as its commercial headquarters. Verne’s differentiator is its focus on cost-effective, sustainable, high-density colocation for compute-intensive workloads rather than general-purpose enterprise IT, leveraging Iceland’s and the Nordics’ renewable, low-cost power grids. The company has grown mainly through acquisition — absorbing Volta Data Centres (UK) and Ficolo (Finland) — and is now backed by private investment firm Ardian, which committed up to $1.2 billion in 2024 to fund further Northern European expansion, including planned new sites in Mäntsälä (Finland), Trondheim (Norway) and Paris (France).
