Regional Qualities
The Node Pole region in northern Sweden, close to the Arctic Circle, holds a combination of ideal inherent qualities for major data centers and high-tech industry.
Power & Infrastructure
for Data Centers
In northern Sweden, the electricity grid has an extremely high redundancy and capacity, which is vital for powering for instance data centers. Among the lowest electricity prices in Europe, 100% renewable hydropower and a highly developed infrastructure are three other aspects that make The Node Pole unique.

Community & Competence
for Data Centers
The region is well known for its higher education. Luleå University of Technology conducts research and innovation within diverse fields such as distance-spanning technology, long-term digital preservation and lower energy consumption of web technologies. In addition, Aurorum Science Park, the University’s next-door neighbor, is one of Sweden’s fastest growing science parks. The region is already one of Scandinavia´s leading skill centers in ICT – Information and Communications Technology.
