Norway is emerging as a key hub in the Nordic data center market, accounting for over 48% of regional data center investments in 2024. Its appeal lies in strong government support, advanced digital infrastructure, access to renewable energy, and a natural climate ideal for free cooling. Global operators and cloud providers are heavily investing in the country, fueling rapid development across multiple cities.
Significant investments in 2024 include BentallGreenOak's $380 million infusion into Bulk Infrastructure Group AS and CoreWeave's $2.2 billion expansion across Norway, Sweden, and Spain. Norway is also seeing technological innovation with companies like AQ Compute introducing liquid cooling technologies in expanded data center campuses and AWS rolling out hybrid cooling systems to manage AI workloads. Schneider Electric, Vertiv, Lenovo, and others are introducing advanced liquid cooling systems to support next-gen AI processors like Nvidia's GB200 and Blackwell platforms.
The growth of AI and cloud adoption is accelerating demand for AI-ready infrastructure. Cloud giants including AWS, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, IBM, and Huawei are expanding their presence, while local players like Telenor Group and Nscale are investing in sovereign cloud services and modular, sustainable data centers powered by 100% renewable energy.
Norway's connectivity advantage is enhanced by over 13 existing undersea cables and three upcoming ones, further linking it to the UK, Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, and Denmark. Projects like the IOEMA subsea cable will boost the nation's role in global data exchange.
As AI, digital transformation, and sustainable infrastructure drive the future of data centers, Norway positions itself at the forefront of innovation and investment in the Nordic region.
Cloud Adoption Accelerates in Norway, Driving Demand for Data Center Expansion
Norway is experiencing a rapid surge in cloud adoption as businesses and public institutions across industries—such as finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and telecommunications—embrace digital transformation to boost scalability, accessibility, and efficiency. Backed by the government's Cloud Computing Strategy, which encourages secure, flexible, and sustainable cloud solutions, the country is positioning itself as a regional leader in cloud innovation.
As global demand for secure, scalable cloud infrastructure surges, Norway is fast emerging as a strategic hub. Tech giants are taking notice—Google has announced plans to expand its Google Cloud Platform in the country by 2026, while Telenor Group is investing over $9.4 million into a sovereign cloud strategy in collaboration with AWS and Skygard.

AITX's RAD Publishes Case Study Detailing SARA's Agentic AI-Powered Transformation of Dealer's Operations
New Report Highlights How SARA Reduced False Alarms by 85% and Tripled Response Speed, Following TMA Webinar Presentation Detroit, Michigan--(Newsfile Corp. - August 12, 2025) - Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTCID: AITX), (the Company), along with its wholly owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD) today announced the publication of a new case study detailing the successful deployment and performance of RAD's SARA ™ platform at OneWatch, an Indiana-based monitoring center and a RAD authorized dealer. The release of this case study follows a recent presentation during The Monitoring Association's Virtual Product Review (VPR) series, titled "Agentic AI Is Transforming Remote Monitoring Operations, Are You Ready?" The full webinar is available for viewing by following this link. The newly published case study, titled " SARA, RAD's Agentic AI Monitoring Platform, Drives Efficiency at OneWatch," explores how OneWatch addressed staffing challenges, operator fatigue, and alarm overload by deploying RAD's SARA RVM solution. Designed to automate remote video monitoring, SARA enabled OneWatch to reduce false alarms by 85%, accelerate response times, and maintain service quality without increasing headcount. The results illustrate how AI-driven automation can directly support GSOC operations, helping organizations scale without compromising performance. OneWatch CEO Austin Smith cited SARA's seamless integration with existing infrastructure and its ability to autonomously detect, verify, and respond to incidents as decisive factors in OneWatch's adoption of SARA. "SARA has completely transformed how we approach security monitoring," Smith said. "Our operators are no longer overwhelmed by false alarms and can focus on genuine security threats." The platform's autonomous voice-down capabilities and detailed reporting tools now serve as a foundation for OneWatch's daily operations and long-term growth strategy. RAD's SARA platform shifted OneWatch's GSOC operations from continuous human surveillance to AI-supported exception management. Rather than manually monitoring hundreds of feeds, operators now rely on SARA to surface verified incidents and provide real-time context. This transition has improved operator morale, reduced burnout, and created a more efficient work environment. In addition to filtering nuisance alerts, SARA has demonstrated its value in deterring intrusions, preventing asset loss, and delivering faster incident resolution. The case study details specific incidents where SARA initiated autonomous responses that led to positive outcomes. At a healthcare facility, the system detected suspicious activity near a restricted area, which triggered immediate notifications, enabling on-site personnel to intervene before property was removed. In another event at a construction site, SARA's voice-down feature deterred a theft in progress while simultaneously alerting OneWatch and local law enforcement, resulting in a successful intervention without delay. Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO and founder of AITX and RAD, emphasized the significance of the SARA deployment's impact on the broader monitoring industry. "In over two decades of innovation in this sector, I have never witnessed such immediate recognition and adoption of a new technology as we've seen with SARA," Reinharz said. "Monitoring centers are not just interested, they're acting. The results at OneWatch reflect what is possible when organizations are ready to let AI take a leadership role in their operations." The success of SARA at OneWatch signals a shift in how remote monitoring centers can evolve to meet growing demand without relying solely on human resources. By integrating agentic AI into daily operations, OneWatch not only improved internal efficiency but also strengthened its competitive position in the market. With SARA handling routine detection and engagement, the company has redefined operator roles, transforming them into AI Surveillance Analysts focused on incident resolution, client communication, and strategic oversight. RAD is actively working to bring similar outcomes to its network of nearly 100 authorized dealers and GSOC operators across the country. By equipping partners with SARA, the Company aims to transform remote monitoring at scale, empowering more organizations to lower costs, reduce false alarms, improve response times, and enhance service delivery through agentic AI. The full case study is now available by following this link, providing detailed insights into how OneWatch successfully integrated SARA into its GSOC operations. Security leaders, integrators, and monitoring professionals are encouraged to view the related webinar, Agentic AI Is Transforming Remote Monitoring Operations, Are You Ready?, to explore how agentic AI is shaping the future of remote video monitoring.
