marking its largest single investment in Europe. The company will develop data centers and supporting infrastructure in Hamina, Kajaani, Muhos and Vaala, helping power services including Gemini, Search, Maps and YouTube. The expansion will be accompanied by major energy investments. Google has signed a 22-year power purchase agreement with Fortum to help extend the life of the Loviisa nuclear power plant, which currently supplies around 10% of Finland’s electricity.

Founder of Stack Chronicle and a journalist with experience across several local and national radio stations (including RTL2, Hit West, Euradio and Figaro Radio in France, and WDET in Detroit, Michigan), I began taking a deeper interest in technology in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. I quickly realised, that few media outlets were building meaningful connections between technology, AI, finance, politics and environmental issues. That observation led to the creation of Stack Chronicle: a publication designed to help both curious readers and more informed audiences understand the technological transformations shaping our world.
