Connectivity Projects

International connectivity in the region is being enhanced by several key developments: • Investment by Norwegian sovereign funds in a cable between

Norway and the UK • Eastern Light linking countries across northern Europe • Havfrue/AEC-2 cable system is supported by Facebook, Google,

Aqua Comms and Bulk Infrastructure • Northeast Passage cable project - China’s Ministry of Industry and

Information Technology and state-owned China Telecom Corporation are among those participating in discussions about building a 10,500-kilometer (6,500 miles) fiber-optic link across the Arctic Circle

Key Conclusions

more is expected• Nordic markets are becoming hot spots for hyperscale data centers• Power remains top USP of the region • Bitcoin, Crypto and Blockchain driving new market segmentation
