Amazon Web Services’ next big investment is in the Stockholm region
Amazon Web Services (AWS) will invest
in the Stockholm region and aims to get
three data centres up and running by 2018.
The sites will be built in Västerås,
Eskilstuna and Katrineholm. This
investment shows Sweden’s high
competitiveness and attractive conditions
for data centre investments.
The investment will make Sweden and
the Stockholm region the hub of the AWS
initiative in Northern Europe.
Patrik Öhlund, CEO of Node Pole,
said, ‘We are delighted that Amazon
Web Services has decided to make its
next large investment in Sweden and the
fantastic opportunities this provides for
Västerås, Eskilstuna and Katrineholm.
We also want to congratulate Business
Sweden and Invest Stockholm. Their work
is impressive and will pave the way for
more future investments in Sweden and
the Nordic countries.’
IT INFRASTRUCTURE
Sweden’s case for data centre
investments is growing stronger, and the
region is today highly attractive for data
centre establishments.
Patrik added, ‘This investment
further demonstrates the strong
appeal of the Swedish market for data
centre investments. Low costs, green
energy, ease of doing business and
connectivity are all good reasons to
choose Sweden.’
