Mikkeli campus flips the Nordic compute map
Nordic builders can now train on wafer-scale silicon without leaving the region. Cerebras and Compute Nordic Finland opened a 165 MW AI data center in Mikkeli, Finland on 2 September 2026. The campus will house multiple CS-3 systems, each powered by a single 864 mm² wafer. First phase delivers 40 MW by Q4 2026; full 165 MW capacity expected by Q3 2027. Cerebras also announced a 200 MW European expansion target by end-2027, with the Nordics as the primary hub. Nvidia continues to broker GPU access deals across the region, but the Mikkeli campus removes the need for transatlantic shipping of high-end accelerators. Denmark’s Energinet has paused new grid-connection agreements for data centers above 50 MW, citing capacity constraints; Finland’s grid remains open, with Mikkeli’s 165 MW already secured. For Nordic builders, the campus means lower latency, predictable pricing, and direct access to wafer-scale compute. Startups in Helsinki, Stockholm, and Oslo can now iterate on large models without queueing for US-based clusters. Enterprises can keep sensitive data onshore while scaling to hundreds of petaflops. Book a slot on the Cerebras cloud this week. Compute Nordic Finland is offering 24-hour trial access to the first CS-3 pod; request credentials via their LinkedIn post or the Mikkeli campus landing page. Test a 10B-parameter model on wafer-scale silicon before the queue grows.
