6 Our Focus Areas CLEANTECH & BIOECONOMY ICT & DIGITALISATION HEALTH & LIFE SCIENCES DATACENTERS Connected Health R&D and innovation

7 Why Datacenters? Ongoing structural change: outsourcing of ICT functions Demand side: Focus on life cycle cost drives away from self owned and maintained datacenters into external cloud services Large corporations are seeking datacenter service providers Supply side: Data cloud providers are seeking economies of scale from larger and networked servers Energy efficiency and sustainable solutions are realized more cost efficiently in larger units Datacenter service providers are making strategic investments to meet the growing global demand of cloud based services Despite of the challenging conditions in the global economy datacenter business has been able to maintain 10 20% annual growth rate over the past 5 years* * North America Data Center Key Trends Report The impact of datacenters on GDP has been underestimated due to (i) neglecting the extensions that typically follow the initial investment, (ii) underestimation of permanent jobs at steady state operations, (iii) total tax revenues (including subcontracting and external services) E.g. Facebook in Luleå: Phase 1: 35 MW, 889 person years Phase 2: total of105 MW, 480 person years Steady state operations: 110 permanent jobs Googlen Hamina: Phase 3: 60 MW Phase 4: 120 MW, 1800 person years Phase 5: in planning Steady state operations: 230 permanent jobs

8 Why Datacenters? * North America Data Center Key Trends Report Investments in datacenters are seen to facilitate many business sectors Datacenters were seen as means to tackle (regional) problem of unemployment caused by the decline of pulp & paper industry ( bits from pulp ) Datacenter sector benefits from the decline of other ICT sectors Establishment new datacenters by recognized international brands help to strengthen Finland s (weakening) reputation as a leading ICT country Good reputation help in attracting funding for applied research and investments in knowledge intensive R&D&I focused companies The Finnish government aims to develop Finland into a Global Data Hub this is being supported by the Baltic Cable connecting Finland to Central Europe as well as Finnish support for the Arctic Connect Cable. Finland could become a gateway between European, Russian and Asian markets. It has been estimated that in the next 5 years there will be 60 large (30 50 MW) datacenter investment projects in Europe Realistically we can expect Finland to be able to provide a competitive solution to more than 10% of these.

19 Legislation on Data Privacy in Finland In comparison to the other European states Finland is a leader in responsible policies towards protection, retention and collection of electronic data In Finland, the right of privacy is in the constitution Confidentiality of communication is a basic right that is inviolable (beyond investigations of serious crimes by officials authorized by the court of law; Act on the Protection of Privacy in Electronic Communication (APPEC2004)) The Data Protection Ombudsman (DPO) enforces the law and has the power to ensure compliance Currently Finland is in the process of centralizing its laws and policies on surveillance into an omnibus bill covering signals intelligence, lawful surveillance, and cyber security. Finland seeks to follow a direction that accommodates the recommendations put forward by the European Union concerning data protection and surveilance but it values its balanced approach to electronic surveillance and data protection Unlike the states of Western Europe, including Sweden, Finland adheres strongly to its policies towards the right of privacy of the individuals and corporations operating within the country The underlying intention is to establish a balance between protection of data (especially sensitive personal data) from unlawful surveillance and the necessary access by law enforcement and other government agencies by appropriate authorization procedure. 19 9/10/2015 Finpro

20 IIF s Stake in the Datacenter Business

21 Why Datacenter 3.0 Growth Program Most of the datacenters built at the end of the decade do not meet current requirements of energy and cost efficiency These requirements are met more effectively in datacenters that are larger in capacity than what is the current norm The market situation has been noticed in countries with advanced ICT sector and/or attractive geographical location => competition for continental/global datacenters has become severe Sweden is putting a tremendous effort in promoting their data center opportunities Norway has entered the competition with significant investments to catch up with the competition Data Center 3.0 project is a continuation for the National Datacenter Project launched in 2010 that identified the Finnish datacenter offering and the potential target segments Goals of the Data Center 3.0 Growth Programme: Improve Finland's reputation as an attractive and reliable place to establish datacenters Develop the national datacenter investment portfolio Enhance sales promotion efforts in the selected target markets Presentation name / Author
