ATNORTH JOINS NORDIC COMPASS TO SUPPORT NORDIC COMPETITIVENESS, RESILIENCE AND INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION
atNorth, a leading Nordic high-density colocation and builtto-suit data centre provider, has announced it has joined Nordic Compass( The Nordic Round Table for Industry), a new pan-Nordic alliance established to strengthen Nordic and European competitiveness, resilience and industrial innovation.
“ Across atNorth, we see first-hand the increasing convergence of digital infrastructure, energy systems and advanced compute across the Nordics,” said Eva Sóley Guðbjörnsdóttir, Chief Financial Officer & Deputy CEO at atNorth.“ By working together through Nordic Compass, we can bolster the Nordic’ s position in leading sustainable industrial development, helping to accelerate innovation and strengthen regional competitiveness.”
Chaired by former Finnish Prime Minister, Jyrki Katainen, Nordic Compass brings together leading companies, foundations and organisations from across the region to accelerate coordinated action across strategically important sectors, including Capital Markets, Deep Tech, Defense and Energy.
The alliance will present its first set of initiatives at the Nordic Compass Summit in Gothenburg, Sweden, in November 2026.
The initiative comes at a time when Europe is accelerating efforts to strengthen technological sovereignty, secure critical infrastructure and support sustainable industrial growth. The Nordic region is already home to globally leading digital, industrial and energy capabilities, yet significant opportunities remain for deeper cross-border collaboration. Nordic Compass seeks to unlock this potential by bringing together industry leaders to align on shared priorities and deliver tangible outcomes.
