Eyjólfur Magnús Kristinsson , CEO at atNorth , said : “ Our goal is to create a decarbonising platform for high-density IT workloads by operating data centres throughout all the Nordic countries , with the possibility of expanding into Northern Europe . We are growing to be the largest Nordic data centre operator .

This is important for the environment and also to the communities nearest to our centres – we want to have a general positive impact .
