High-density AI digital infrastructure supporting 6G (HD-AIDI)

Purpose and goal

The project aims to secure Sweden´s position as a global and relevant innovation hub for high-performance and sustainable digital infrastructure by promoting national and international collaborations between industry, institutes, and academia. The highly expansive development of AI introduces many new technical challenges that the project intends to address and further transform into business opportunities for participating companies.

Expected effects and result

The project is expected to contribute with technical solutions that enable a sustainable expansion of digital infrastructure, with a focus on energy-intensive AI hardware. Technical outcomes include improved energy efficiency and energy system integration. The expected market effects are that participating Swedish parties will gain increased exposure to global actors in AI, data centers, and digital infrastructure, thereby enhancing Sweden’s relevance as a strong industrial nation.

Planned approach and implementation

The project is divided into four technical areas: power distribution, construction methods for computing nodes, coolant distribution, and heat recovery. All technical areas are expected to work on and demonstrate innovative solutions within their respective fields. An integrated conceptual demonstrator will be built at the RISE ICE Datacenter. Technical advancements and results will be published and presented at relevant conferences, fairs and scientific journals.
