Accelsius has announced a strategic partnership with Nordik Data Centers to build a next-generation AI data center near Montreal.
The project features a co-innovation lab where customers can validate performance metrics and efficiency gains of Accelsius’ cooling technology in real-world conditions.
The partnership strengthens Montreal’s position as a hub for AI infrastructure innovation, where industry leaders are developing practical solutions for next-generation data centre challenges.
The co-innovation lab, which will be operational in the second quarter of 2025, is designed to support the most advanced compute workloads and densest compute pods on the market. The facility provides a comprehensive testing, measurement and benchmarking environment, delivering credible, data-backed proof of Accelsius’ superior performance and sustainability.
“This partnership with Nordik Data Centers represents a pivotal moment for Accelsius, as it marks our significant entry into the Canadian market,” said Josh Claman, CEO, Accelsius.
Jean-Michel Picard, CEO, Nordik Data Centers, said: “This project sets a new standard in Quebec and represents the first step in our vision to deliver data centres differently – with a step change in sustainability that our industry desperately needs.”
The center will utilise 100% renewable energy and integrate advanced heat recovery systems to reduce carbon footprints. Combined with Accelsius’ proven cooling solutions, the co-innovation lab will lead the way in demonstrating how data centres can achieve exceptional compute performance while dramatically improving energy efficiency.
