Datacenter Innovation Region

The purpose of the project is to promote growth in small and medium-sized companies in Norrbotten and Västerbotten, in collaboration with universities, institutes and a technical data center. The business started in September 2015 and is coordinated by Luleå University of Technology.

Datacenter Innovation Region (DIR) provides an opportunity for small and medium-sized companies, with operations in Norrbotten and Västerbotten, to receive support for the development of products and services in the area of green resource-efficient data centers and clouds.
