We are building Switzerland's first brownfield platform for AI data centres.

We turn Switzerland's old industrial land into data centre sites

Factory halls and foundries drew heavy power for decades. We reactivate this brownfield land and the grid connections that come with it.

A brownfield shortens the path to a running data centre

Old industrial sites already hold the land, the grid connection and the neighbours who can use the heat.

38,000

polluted sites across Switzerland

We investigate and clean up the ground on every site and bring the land back into use.

7 to 10

years to connect a new data centre to the grid in Europe's main hubs

Our sites build on grid connections that already exist.

2.1 TWh

of power used by Swiss data centres a year, all of it released as heat

We plan every site for heat recovery from day one, for district heating and cooling.

Switzerland runs one of the cleanest and most reliable grids in Europe

58.5% of Swiss electricity comes from hydropower, one of the lowest-carbon power systems in Europe.

At the centre of Europe's data centre corridor

Between Frankfurt, Milan and Paris, tied into the European grid by 41 cross-border lines.

The Swiss Alps are Europe's battery

Alpine reservoirs hold 8.9 TWh of power, ready for winter and for the peak hours of the European grid.

Our proprietary software makes grid capacity predictable

It analyses every parcel in Switzerland, finds the latent capacity at the substations that serve them and shows early which sites can be energised.
