evroc, the European cloud company, announced the completion of a landmark deal with Arlandastad Group to purchase 4890 sqm building rights for its upcoming flagship cloud and AI data center. Located in the fast-growing innovation hub next to Stockholm Arlanda Airport, the new facility is a crucial step in the company's aim to establish Europe’s first hyperscale cloud, capable of supporting advanced AI workloads at scale.
With the land purchase completed, evroc – which was founded in 2023 – is aiming to break ground in the first half of 2025 and expects the site to be operational by the latter half of 2026. This follows evroc’s initial announcement in November 2023, in which the company shared its intention to invest €600 million over the coming years in a flagship data center in Sweden. At full capacity, the site is designed to accommodate up to 16,000 GPUs — among the highest densities for any single location in Europe.
“Finalizing this land deal is a major milestone,” said Mattias Åström, evroc founder and CEO. “It brings us one step closer to building Europe’s most advanced hyperscale cloud and AI Factory. Our AI data center in Arlandastad will not only stand out architecturally but also offer unparalleled performance and sustainability – powered by fossil-free energy and an AI-first design.”
AI-compatible, sustainable and souvereign
True to evroc’s vision, AI will be embedded at every layer – from data center operations and hardware orchestration to developer tools and products. Its goal is to maximize efficiency, lowering operational costs and enabling AI-driven optimizations for cooling, resource management and heat reuse. By leveraging district heating, all surplus heat generated by the site can be repurposed to warm the city of Stockholm.
Ensuring European digital sovereignty, evroc champions full European ownership and control of its critical cloud and AI infrastructure. By keeping data within EU jurisdiction and European privacy legislation, the company helps protect European enterprises and institutions from potential geopolitical risks and foreign backdoors. The company also continues to explore additional data center locations across the continent.
