    REYKJAVÍK, Iceland, Feb 11, 2025 – atNorth has announced its recognition at one of Iceland’s prestigious information technology events, UTmessan, along with other leading Icelandic data center operators for their role in facilitating the development of Iceland’s infrastructure.

    The Information Technology Award of the Icelandic Computer Society (Ský) is an honorary prize awarded to organizations for outstanding information technology contributions in Iceland. The accolade highlights the positive impact of data centers on Iceland’s digital, power and economic infrastructure. The award was presented by Iceland’s President, Halla Tómasdóttir, at a ceremony on Feb 7, Friday in Reykjavik.

    The data center industry is thriving in Iceland, alongside its Nordic neighbors due to its cool climate and abundance of renewable energy that enables energy efficient infrastructure cooling techniques.

    The demand for data center capacity in Iceland facilitated the country’s investment in digital connectivity and the national power infrastructure to ensure long term sustainability of the supply. Iceland boasts multiple undersea fiber optic cables connecting the country to the UK, North America and mainland Scandinavia and has a robust domestic fiber optic network, with multiple providers offering high-speed internet connectivity throughout Iceland – factors that have accelerated the growth of other businesses in the country.

    “We believe that data centers can be pivotal to a thriving economy and are committed to supporting the countries in which we operate”, says Erling Guðmundsson, COO, atNorth. “We are proud to be recognized alongside our peers as having contributed to putting Iceland on the map as a perfect location for data centers. By collaborating with local governments and likeminded organizations we hope to create data center ecosystems that operate with environmental responsibility, energy efficiency, and community integration.”
