Hanna Oredsson, sales director at Schneider Electric Sweden, emphasizes the need for standardization in AI infrastructure as companies like Meta, Google, Microsoft, and AWS invest in Sweden's AI market. The country has advantages such as developed urban networks, access to fossil-free energy, and a favorable climate.

However, Oredsson notes that Sweden lags in infrastructure predictability and speed of construction. Delays in grid connections, rather than power availability, are significant issues. Oredsson advocates for a verified, standardized design for data centers to align with grid company requirements, reducing risks and costs.

She stresses the importance of a cohesive strategy for designing and scaling data centers to foster innovation and investment. Collaboration among the industry, authorities, and investors is essential to enhance AI infrastructure and position Sweden as a leader in AI investments.
