Google said it plans to invest at least $15.2 billion in Finland’s digital infrastructure over the next two years, a commitment described as one of the largest technology investments in the country’s history. The announcement was cited by Odaily, which referenced Fox News as the source. Finnish President Alexander Stubb said the decision reflects a mix of factors that make the country attractive for artificial intelligence infrastructure. He pointed to Finland’s abundant clean energy, secure operating environment and expanding technology sector. Stubb also said the country’s colder climate adds to its appeal for data center construction. In his remarks, he said companies decide for themselves where to build data centers, and that Finland is pleased Google chose to invest there. He added that 95% of the country’s electricity comes from clean sources and said Finland has security systems that can withstand a range of cyberattacks.
Google (GOOG.O) said it plans to invest at least $15.2 billion in Finland’s digital infrastructure over the next two years, in what was described as one of the largest technology investments in the country’s history.
Finnish President Alexander Stubb said the investment reflects several factors coming together, including abundant clean energy, a secure operating environment and a growing technology sector. He said those conditions are making Finland an increasingly popular destination for artificial intelligence infrastructure projects.
"Companies decide for themselves where to invest in building data centers, and we are of course happy that Google has invested," Stubb said.
He added: "They are doing this because we can provide clean energy. Ninety-five percent of our electricity is clean energy. It is also because we have a security system that can withstand various cyberattacks. And, of course, because our climate is relatively cold."
