Nordic Data Center Week 2025
Nordic Data Center Week 2025 is a dedicated week highlighting the vital role of data centers, artificial intelligence, digitalization, and the green transition. Events will take place across the Nordic countries from September 22–26, 2025.
Throughout the week, the industry will spotlight how data centers, AI, and sustainability are interconnected—and why these connections matter in our everyday lives. In cities across the region, local communities will be invited to engage in open discussions about the impact of data centers on society and their role in driving the green transition.
Why Host a Nordic Data Center Week?
This initiative aims to raise awareness of the data center industry's contributions to society. As public perception evolves, we are proud to lead a more transparent and constructive conversation about our sector's role. By hosting more events, we can reach a broader audience—and we encourage all members to take part.
