ATNORTH

“ We basically consider ourselves to be a startup company ,” says Magnús Kristinsson , CEO of atNorth , “ and in December 2021 , we were acquired by Partners Group , which is one of the largest private market firms in the world . What this means for us is that we will need to find a new balance between the institutional and the startup spirit , as this move opens up many opportunities for us .” atNorth is the largest colocation Data Centre ( DC ) operator in Iceland , recognised for its high-density computing technology coupled with its dedication to sustainability . The DC company is headquartered in Reykjavik and already has several operations across Sweden , the Netherlands , Belgium and the United Kingdom - despite its early start-up ethos , its acquisition by Partners Group has bestowed atNorth with access to a completely different level of funding , set to further fuel its quickening expansion and growth .

This is the quid pro quo that sustainabilityfocused and start-up-spirited DCs must make when such large investment is the key consideration . In fact , such a move provides opportunities to achieve goals that may have seemed long out-of-reach , but presently have become a reality that will , in all likelihood , see atNorth achieve goals that were not even possible for the DC company just a few short years ago .
