Den 30. maj inviterer Datacenter Industrien til et spændende møde om potentialer og udfordringer i udviklingen af Danmarks nye vækstindustri.
Med Apple’s og Facebooks beslutninger om at bygge i henholdsvis Viborg og Odense er der sat gang i en meget spændende udvikling, der kan udmønte sig i en helt ny vækstindustri, der tåler sammenligning med vindmøllebranchen.
- Hvordan kan du gøre dig ”lækker” som leverandør til industrien?
- Hvilke typer opgaver er der tale om?
- Er der særlige certificeringer eller krav for at blive leverandør til denne type projekter?
- Hvor stor kan denne industri blive, og hvorfor er Danmark attraktiv for denne type investeringer?
- Hvorfor giver det mening med en ny brancheforening på dette område, og hvad kan foreningen hjælpe den enkelte virksomhed og branchen med?
Dette er blot nogle af spørgsmålene, der besvares den 30. maj af bl.a. irske M+W Group, der er en internationalt førende byggekoncern inden for datacenter-byggerier – nu også i Danmark.
Derudover er der oplæg fra Invest in Denmark, COWI og Datacenter Industriens formand Thomas Volder fra Coromatic.
Et arrangement, du ikke må gå glip af, hvis du har interesse i at blive en del af fremtidens vækstindustri!
Tid: Tirsdag den 30. maj kl. 12-14.30
Sted: COWI Odense, Vestre Stationsvej 7, 5000 Odense C
Pris: Deltagelse er gratis, og alle virksomheder og organisationer er velkomne.
Der er begrænset antal pladser, så tilmelding sker efter først-til-mølle princippet!
Vi ses i Odense den 30. maj!
Venlig hilsen
Henrik Hansen, Direktør
Datacenter Industrien
The convergence of artificial intelligence, high-performance computing and quantum technologies will reshape how digital infrastructure is designed and operated. At Danish Data Center Industry’s latest networking meetup, industry experts, researchers and infrastructure providers gathered to discuss what these developments realistically mean for data centers, and what Denmark must get right to remain competitive.
Data centers are increasingly at the center of public debate, particularly because of electricity consumption and pressure on power grids and local infrastructure. While these concerns are legitimate, electricity demand is only one dimension of how modern digital infrastructure interacts with energy systems. A growing number of projects show that data centers can contribute to energy systems by supporting renewable energy deployment, grid stability and the reuse of surplus heat.
Artificial intelligence and quantum computing are rapidly becoming central to economic competitiveness. But their real value will depend on where they can be executed at scale and on the digital infrastructure that enables them.
Market news: atNorth has been acquired by Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) and Equinix in a transaction valued at approximately USD 4 billion. The agreement includes a USD 4.2 billion financing package underwritten by a group of European and Canadian lenders.
Denmark is entering a national election campaign. In the weeks ahead, the public debate will naturally focus on political priorities. But some priorities extend beyond a single electoral term. Digital infrastructure is one of them.
It was a full house as more than 90 members gathered for the Danish Data Centers Industry’s Annual Meeting and General Assembly, marking an important moment for the association. With record participation, a board transition underway and a strong strategic agenda, the meeting reflected an industry that is increasingly conscious of its role, not just in the digital economy, but in society more broadly.
Dagens udmeldinger fra Energinet og klima-, energi- og forsyningsminister Lars Aagaard understreger alvoren i situationen: kapaciteten i elnettet er presset, og der er behov for tydelige og gennemsigtige prioriteringer dér, hvor kapaciteten er knap.
Swedish investment company Claesson & Anderzén Group (CA Group) has signed an agreement to establish a flexible AI data center of up to 100 MW IT load at GreenLab’s green industrial park in Skive, Denmark. The project represents a billion-scale investment and is expected to be fully operational in 2027.
The Danish Data Center Industry is supporting the development of the first incubation program under the Net Zero Start-up Hub, bringing six international and Danish start-ups together in Fredericia to accelerate the development of next-generation solutions for sustainable data centers and digital infrastructure.
The University of Southern Denmark (SDU) is establishing a new advanced, energy-efficient data center in Sønderborg in collaboration with Danfoss and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to support research in AI and high-performance computing (HPC). The facility aims to demonstrate the potential of sustainable data center design on an international scale. Building on SDU’s experience with innovative cloud technologies and national HPC services, including the DeiC Interactive HPC based on the UCloud platform, the new data center will provide researchers from SDU and other Danish universities access to advanced accelerators needed for AI research and the handling of large, complex data sets in a secure, open-source environment. The collaboration with Danfoss and HPE enables the integration of energy-efficient cooling and heat-recovery systems into the HPC environment, allowing operational data to support optimization of thermal performance while SDU continues to develop more energy-efficient workloads on the UCloud platform. “We are proud that with the new data center, we can combine research, sustainability, and technological innovation in one unified project. It is not only an investment in the future of research but also a concrete example of how SDU creates value for society by supporting the green and digital transition in Denmark,” said Thomas Buchvald Vind, University Director at SDU. From an industry perspective, the project also highlights the importance of collaboration across the digital infrastructure ecosystem. “This initiative reflects the growing maturity of the Danish data center ecosystem. When universities, technology companies and infrastructure providers collaborate at this level, it creates a strong foundation for sustainable digital growth and research capacity,” said Henrik Hansen, CEO, Danish Data Center Industry. The data center will be developed using modular infrastructure designed for demanding AI and HPC workloads, with solutions provided in collaboration with Danfoss and HPE Services. The initiative is supported by ProjectZero, a public-private partnership in Sønderborg working toward a carbon-neutral energy system in the municipality by 2029.
