History

This is our journey as it is written

We are learning every day and sometimes it is important to look back and learn what we have achieved in a short period of time.
March 2012

Even though we are founded 2014, the thinking started earlier.

The idea about a circular system with the data center as the heartbeat started to evolve.

The idea that we are only in the beginning of the digitalization and that the society needs to think how datacenters are to be built  quickly gained pace.

Together with the local power company in Falun we started to explore a datacenter in symbiosis with the pellets factory.

April 2014

We are founded

We finally form the company ECODC AB. The  idea, concept and timing was finally right.

Growing the family
