About Northeast Flow

We build and run compute sites inside existing buildings, and put their heat to work.

OUR STORY

From one pilot to working sites

In 2018, we set out to combine computation with heat generation in buildings. Back then, the idea wasn't new, but the technology for capturing heat and feeding it into buildings was anything but established. So we first developed our own solution and tested it with a pilot at the Finnish Museum of Technology in 2021.

Since then, we have run heat-led compute in buildings' technical spaces. Today our sites have capacity for around 5 GWh of heat a year, delivered to buildings for customers around Southern Finland.

Now we're opening our sites to hosting customers: high-density, liquid-cooled capacity for their own hardware, with the heat going to the building it runs in.

Our model

The same energy, doing two jobs

Compute needs power and cooling. Buildings need heat. We develop and run liquid-cooled sites inside existing buildings, where the compute runs and the building's heating takes the heat.

Hosting customers get dense capacity without building new. Building owners get cheaper heat from space that earned nothing. Less new infrastructure gets built, and the same energy does two jobs.
