FROM PAPER MILL TO INTERNET HUB

Cursor, the development company of KotkaHamina area proposed an abandoned paper mill and Google transformed it into its biggest European data center. Since the original 2010 announcement, Google has invested some EUR800 million for the Data Center. Cursor took care of safety, environment and building permits. We forged the needed cooperation with local authorities and local subcontractors. We can help you, too!
