Municipalities as Data Center Operators: Your Path to Digital Sovereignty
We support your municipality in achieving comprehensive digital sovereignty through the establishment and operation of its own sustainable data centers. With our extensive expertise – from strategic planning to turnkey realization – we jointly create sustainable added value and shape your digital future securely and independently.
Your Data Center: More Than Just Servers
A data center is the nervous system of the digital world – a state-of-the-art facility that houses computers and network equipment to store, process, and distribute vast amounts of data. It is crucial for cloud services, online communication, and all digital infrastructures.
Like a magnet, a data center enhances the attractiveness of the municipality, drawing in new, promising technologies. Furthermore, a data center offers other important benefits for the municipality.
Driver for Economy and Innovation
A local data center is a strong economic factor. It not only attracts technology-intensive companies that rely on reliable IT infrastructure but also directly and indirectly creates high-quality jobs in your region. From IT specialists to maintenance personnel and supporting service providers – local value creation is sustainably strengthened. This fosters a dynamic environment for both startups and established companies.
At the same time, it forms the basis for implementing Smart City solutions, networked administration, and data-driven decisions that directly improve the lives of citizens.
Waste Heat Utilization: A Gain for Your Municipality.
The operation of data centers generates a significant amount of waste heat. We develop a concept with you as a municipality for the utilization of this waste heat – both communally and across sectors.Sustainable Heat Supply: Local properties and industries will benefit.
  • Strengthening the Local Economy: Reducing energy costs for citizens and businesses, which enhances the attractiveness of the municipality.
  • Independence and Value Creation: Your municipality becomes more independent of external energy prices and creates its own sustainable value chains.
Sustainable Benefits for Your Municipality
Increase in Tax Revenue
Direct increase in business tax through the municipal operation of the data center, as well as additional income through the settlement of service providers and suppliers in the region.
Strengthening Economic Power
Attracting new companies in the IT services and research sectors, which, through municipal data center operation, signify a lasting innovation boost for the entire region.
Efficient Waste Heat Utilization
Sustainable use of the data center's waste heat for heating municipal facilities (schools, public buildings, swimming pools) and for district heating supply to private households.
Regional Energy Autonomy
Possibility to sell electricity from municipal or community wind and solar farms directly to the municipal data center, thereby guaranteeing regional value creation and supply security.
With our unique approach, you can put your community in the lead regarding digital infrastructure. By establishing a sustainable data center, which we support from planning to implementation, you promote the local economy, increase revenues, etc. Together, we create a stable foundation for a sustainable and future-technology-oriented community.
