The University of Southern Denmark (SDU) is establishing a new data center in Sønderborg, in collaboration with Danfoss and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), aimed at enhancing AI and supercomputing research. This facility will leverage SDU eScience Center's expertise in cloud technologies and high-performance computing (HPC), providing access to cutting-edge accelerators for researchers at SDU and other Danish universities.

The data center is designed to operate in a secure, open-source environment and will utilize UCloud technology to ensure digital sovereignty. Danfoss' cooling and heat recovery systems will enable energy-efficient operations, recycling waste heat for local energy resources.

Supported by ProjectZero, a public-private partnership, the initiative aims for a carbon-neutral energy system in the region by 2029. The project highlights a commitment to sustainability and technological innovation in Denmark.
