en.Wedoany.com Reported - Verne has broken ground on the first 70MW phase of its data center campus in the Kapuli area of Mäntsälä, Finland.

Kim Gunnelius, Managing Director of Verne Finland, stated that this groundbreaking marks a significant milestone for the company's development in Finland. Mäntsälä offers the energy infrastructure required for large-scale, high-density computing, a local collaborative ecosystem, and favorable operational conditions. As demand continues to rise, the company aims to build infrastructure that not only serves its clients but also creates value for the local community and regional economy.

Verne first disclosed its development plans for the 10-hectare site in 2024. In 2022, the company entered the Finnish market by acquiring Ficolo, gaining three sites in Helsinki, Pori, and Tampere. Last year, Verne sold the Pori and Tampere sites to Nordic cloud service provider Glesys.

Hannu Laurila, Mayor of Mäntsälä, welcomed the investment, stating that it will bring significant opportunities to the city and the wider region—not only from the site itself but also from the potential clustering of suppliers, service providers, energy partners, and other businesses in the vicinity. Mäntsälä possesses the location, infrastructure, and stable power grid suitable for long-term, forward-looking investments.

Verne originally started as an Icelandic data center company. After being acquired by D9 in 2021, it merged with Finnish data center company Ficolo and London-based Volta Data Centres. As D9 gradually exited, the merged entity was resold to investment firm Ardian in 2024. Verne is currently also developing a site in France.
