Nordic Data Center Week 2024
Program: Nordic Data Center Week 2024 Sweden
Nordic Data
Center Week is a full week focused on data centers, AI, digitalization, and the
green transition. Events will be held across the Nordic countries.
During the week, the industry will focus on explaining how data centers, AI, and the green transition are interconnected, and why it is important for all of us in our daily lives. In various cities, the local community is invited to an open dialogue about the role of data centers in society and the green transition.
Nordic Data Center Week 2024 will take place from September 23rd to 27th.
Contact us if you want to learn more about Nordic Data Center Week – or if you want to host an event in 2025.
Why a Nordic Data Center week?
We want to showcase our contribution to society and raise awareness of the industry. In recent years, views of data centers has become more negative, and as an organization we want to change this. The more events we have, the more reach we get so we really hope members take this opportunity to join.
Please reach out to Fredrik Lindahl to discuss your ideas.
