The unique location of our data centres in Finland enables them to be a key hub connecting Eastern and Western Europe, supporting the growth of the European digital economy. TelecityGroup operates five data centres in Helsinki, and over thirty across Europe, hosting IT infrastructure for some of the world’s largest organisations.
