YIT and atNorth have agreed on a EUR 300 million design-build contract for a 430 megawatt data center campus in Kouvola, Finland, expected to complete by end of 2027. The facility will run on renewable energy and support AI and HPC capacity across the Nordic region.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Infrastructure and Cloud Infrastructure. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

The Wire takeaway

If you supply power systems, cooling, renewable energy integration, or modular rack infrastructure for data centers, the Nordic AI build-out just moved from plans to active procurement—Kouvola alone is 430 megawatts and there are three more atNorth sites planned. Call your construction and data centre operator contacts this week; the window to bid components is now open.
