Seinäjoki Offers More Than 150 Hectares for Large-Scale Data Center Development

The first phase of a data center campus with a total value exceeding €7.5 billion is currently under construction in Seinäjoki. Valued at approximately €1.5 billion, the first phase comprises a 110 MW data center complex that provides the foundation for a campus with a total planned capacity of more than 550 MW. The capacity of the first phase has already been fully leased. This is the largest project in Pure DC’s history and the biggest single investment ever made from the UK to Finland.

Upon completion, the Seinäjoki campus will rank among Europe’s largest data center developments designed for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing (HPC). The project, delivered in partnership with Finnish company SDC Ventures, is expected to create more than 1,500 jobs during the construction phase. Over the approximately ten-year development period, the project is anticipated to employ more than 3,000 people and generate significant demand for highly specialized expertise across multiple industries.

“We are not building data centers in Seinäjoki alone. Our goal is to create one of Europe’s most significant AI ecosystems, serving international technology companies while providing a growth platform for the next generation of Finnish entrepreneurs, talent, and innovations,” says Gary Wojtaszek, Chairman of the Board and Interim CEO of Pure DC.

Known as SJK01, the campus will be built on an area of approximately 150 hectares. The planned computing capacity exceeds 550 megawatts (MW), supported by more than 700 megavolt-amperes (MVA) of reserved grid connection capacity for future expansion. The campus will be developed in phases through modular units designed to meet the rapidly growing demands of artificial intelligence and high-performance computing.
