White paper out now: The Hidden Workforce of the Cloud

Our white paper The Hidden Workforce of the Cloud: How Data Centres Drive Thousands of Jobs Locally is now available. It tells the often overlooked story behind every hyperscale data centre: the jobs, skills and local prosperity it creates.

The modern factory towns of the digital age

Hyperscale data centres are more than buildings full of servers. The white paper shows how each site can support between 2,000 and 15,000 jobs through direct, indirect and induced employment, from the first groundworks and construction to operations, logistics and local services.

What you will learn

  • How data centres transform regions through skilled employment, supply chains and local services
  • Why the Nordics offer unique advantages in clean energy, political stability and talent pipelines
  • Real-world hyperscale case studies and their regional impact
  • How Salboheds partners with hyperscalers so that projects deliver not just infrastructure, but inclusive growth and ESG benefits

Insights for governments, hyperscalers and communities

For governments, the insights are strategic. For hyperscalers, they are reputational. For communities, they are transformational. The research was led by Patrick Hamilton Walsh, Chief Innovation Officer at Salboheds.
