A NATIONAL INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION REPRESENTING THE DANISH DATA CENTER ECOSYSTEM
The Danish Data Center Industry (DDI) is the industry association for Denmark's data center ecosystem.
As a not-for-profit organization, we represent companies and organizations across both the private and public sectors, including data center operators, technology providers, utilities, municipalities, educational institutions, and other key stakeholders.
We work to strengthen the conditions for sustainable growth by advancing public policy, promoting skills and education, supporting sustainability initiatives, and fostering collaboration across industries and sectors.
Our Vision
Denmark should be one of Europe’s most important strategic hubs for sustainable and resilient digital infrastructure.
DDI serves as the central platform where industry players and partners collaborate on energy, climate, and growth challenges, with the purpose of actively contributing to Denmark’s digital and green development.
What we believe
DDI’s strategy is built upon a few fundamental beliefs regarding the future role of digital infrastructure in society and the opportunities for Denmark as a leading data center nation.
We believe that:
- Data centers are part of the green transition and must be integrated into the energy system.
- Data centers create societal value both locally and nationally.
- Data centers are essential for future AI and quantum development.
- Denmark should become Europe’s leading test lab for sustainable digital infrastructure.

- DDI must create measurable business value for its members.
These principles form the foundation for DDI’s long-term priorities and guide the activities and initiatives undertaken across the organization.
