Google Vaala

Google's data center in Vaala, Finland, is a significant in-development project located in the Oulu market. Construction commenced in 2026, marking Finland's largest-ever foreign investment in digital infrastructure. The campus is designed to house essential infrastructure for digital services, the internet, and artificial intelligence. Google's investment emphasizes the integration of digital infrastructure with environmental conservation, including enhancing recreational access, restoring commercial forests, and reviving biodiversity. The project involves extensive research and dialogue with local communities and authorities. Site activity currently includes preliminary infrastructure development, with a transition to the next construction phase planned. Google also acquired 900 hectares of land in Vaala for potential future development. The company's commitment to the region is further demonstrated by their first data center in Finland, opened in Hamina in 2009. For inquiries, contact googlevaala@google.com.
