Nordic Data Center Week Returns: Digital Infrastructure, Sustainability and Skills for the Future

Organized in partnership by the Nordic data center industry associations, the week is dedicated to strengthening public understanding of the essential role data centers play in a digitalized and sustainable society. From school visits and community events to industry talks and open days, activities will highlight how data centers power everything from cloud services to AI — and why the sector offers exciting, meaningful career opportunities.

"Nordic Data Center Week was a great success in its first year, and we’re excited to build on that momentum,” says Henrik Hansen, CEO of the Danish Data Center Industry. “This week is about more than infrastructure, it’s about connecting with local communities, learning and listening to each other, and showing how our industry contributes to both the green transition and economic growth.”

Activities across Denmark

This year’s Danish program will include:

• School engagement: Hands-on visits where students learn about the technology and sustainability strategies behind data centers.
• Community dialogue: Events bringing together municipalities, local businesses, and data centers.
• Industry insights: Panels and talks on the future of AI, digital infrastructure, and the skills needed to meet demand.

"We want to spark curiosity, whether you’re 12 or 52,” adds Merima Dzanic, Head of Strategy & Operations. “Data centers are not just the backbone of the internet, they’re a key part of solving the sustainability challenges we face. Nordic Data Center Week makes that visible.”
