Danish Real Estate Firm Ventures into Sustainable AI Data Centers

Thylander, a well-known real estate investment firm from Copenhagen, is embarking on an exciting journey into the world of data centers. They plan to open Denmark’s first hyperscale data center that’s domestically owned, addressing crucial issues like data sovereignty and sustainability. With an impressive starting capacity of 100 megawatts, expandable to 200 megawatts, this center aims to support businesses depending on advanced computing technologies like GPUs.

Local Solutions for AI Needs

The surge in AI applications has organizations rethinking their operational environments. Key considerations include cost, data sovereignty, sustainable practices, and intellectual property protection. Thylander is entering the scene at a pivotal moment, ready to offer local, energy-efficient data solutions. By 2026, they plan to have Denmark’s first locally managed hyperscale data center up and running, capitalizing on the nation’s green energy resources and robust fiber-optic networks.

Innovative Sustainability Practices

The company’s CEO, Anders Mathiesen, emphasizes the need for domestic data processing, which not only caters to Danish businesses but also appeals to foreign companies eager to engage with the Danish market. Thylander’s data center will stand out for its eco-friendly operations, using low-carbon electricity and innovative cooling methods that preserve local water resources. An intriguing part of their strategy includes repurposing seawater cooling systems from Esbjerg’s power plant, which cuts down on both construction costs and time.

Leading the Charge in Digital Transformation

Designed to handle high-density computing, Thylander’s new facility offers an attractive choice for companies pursuing hybrid cloud strategies. By expanding local data capabilities, businesses can effectively manage their AI workloads across public and private cloud environments. As the thirst for AI infrastructure grows, Thylander is well-positioned to drive a sustainable digital future for Denmark.
