In April, it emerged that AWS planned to open a new infrastructure region for its cloud computing services in the Stockholm region in 2018.

“They could do that wherever in the world, but chose to do it here," he added.

“Sweden truly does have it all,” Mowry writes in a blog post published on the Data Centers by Sweden website.
