🇮🇸 atNorth Announces Award Win for Iceland at the Tech Capital Awards

atNorth showcased the benefits of investing in Iceland in general, such as the abundance of natural resources and the fact that their energy is 100% generated by renewable sources, in addition to their stable political situation, circular economy principles, and redundant connectivity prowess. As a result of these factors, Iceland has a reliable power supply and low energy costs, which makes it an ideal location for technology investment specifically. Furthermore, atNorth were able to demonstrate how pivotal Iceland’s climate is for the cooling of high performance infrastructure by utilizing the example of their long standing client BNP Paribas that resulted in a 50% reduction in energy consumption, an 85% reduction in CO2 and significant cost savings.

atNorth continues to promote Iceland and the Nordic region in general as best in class locations for their state of the art data centers. The company will continue to build additional sites in the region as part of their growth strategy to expand their services sustainably and strategically to support the increasing need for energy efficient, data-intensive computing.

“We are thrilled that our entry for Iceland has won the Tech Capital Location Award” says Gisli Kr., Chief Sales Officer, at AtNorth. ​“As the demand for our services continues to grow we are delighted that one of our locations of choice has been recognized as an ideal location for tech investment and hope that this will encourage businesses to continue to make the most of its advantages”.
