Turku – Secure Nordic Gateway for Resilient Infrastructure

Strategic Resilience for the Baltic Corridor

Turku serves as a strategic edge location for organizations needing resilient infrastructure with direct paths to the Baltic subsea cable network. It is a premier choice for disaster recovery and regional expansion, offering a stable alternative to the Helsinki market while maintaining low-latency links to the capital.

Turku: At A Glance

Network & Connectivity Ecosystem

Carrier Density & Carrier Neutrality: Carrier count: fewer than 5 as of September 2025. While the provider list is compact, the available carriers specialize in high-capacity transit to Stockholm and Helsinki. This ensures high-performance connectivity for regional edge applications.

Direct Cloud On-Ramps: Over 0, enabling access to 0 cloud regions as of September 2025. There are no native on-ramps in the immediate metro. Traffic reaches AWS, Google Cloud (GCP), or Microsoft Azure via private wave services or point-to-point fiber to the primary on-ramp clusters in Helsinki.

Internet Exchange Points (IXPs): Local peering is handled through the TREX exchange or by backhauling to FICIX in Helsinki. This setup keeps local traffic efficient while utilizing national scale for broader reach.

Bare Metal: High-performance compute is available through providers such as Leaseweb or IONOS. These options support specialized workloads that require dedicated hardware without the overhead of physical site management.

Power Analysis

Average Cost Of Power: The cost of power is €0.12/kWh, as of September 2025. This pricing is competitive within the Nordic region, especially given the low carbon footprint of the Finnish energy mix. Predictable energy costs help stabilize operational budgets for long-term deployments.

Power Grid Reliability: The local grid is well-engineered with multiple substation connections. Finland maintains one of the most reliable transmission systems in Europe, featuring redundant paths that protect critical infrastructure from localized failures.

Market Access, Business & Tax Climate

Proximity To Key Business Districts: Data centers are located near the Port of Turku and the local tech cluster. This location supports maritime technology, logistics, and research industries that need immediate data processing and low-latency feedback.

Regional Market Reach: Turku acts as a bridge between Western Finland and Sweden. It effectively serves over five million people along the Baltic corridor with better latency than Central European facilities.

Tax Advantage For Data Centers: Enterprises benefit from export-oriented service treatment which simplifies international scaling. Government-backed insurance and credit guarantees provide a secure layer for large infrastructure investments.

Natural Disaster Risk

The Turku region maintains a Low risk profile with a score of 1.9/10, as of September 2025. Its geological position makes it a premier site for disaster recovery and long-term data residency.

• River Flood (6.2): Managed through modern urban planning and resilient drainage systems.
• Coastal Flood (5.3): A moderate factor for shoreline facilities, though most critical infrastructure is built on higher ground.
• Epidemic (2.0): National healthcare systems provide high coping capacity.
• Drought (1.7): Minimal impact on cooling due to the proximity of the Baltic Sea and local water management.
• Earthquake (0.1): Negligible risk due to the stable tectonic environment.
