    • GlobalConnect is investing €14 million in a 150 km subsea cable and 365 km of fibre upgrades between Finland and Sweden by late 2026.
    • The project aims to fortify Baltic connectivity amid growing AI demand and recent infrastructure vulnerabilities across the sea routes.

    What happened: GlobalConnect to lay subsea cable link between Sweden and Finland

    GlobalConnect, a major Nordic digital infrastructure provider, has unveiled a €14 million project to install a new 150 km subsea cable connecting Sweden and Finland, scheduled for completion by the end of 2026. The plan also includes upgrading around 365 km of terrestrial fibre linking Helsinki, Turku, Åland, Stockholm, and Gävle, increasing capacity across key routes in the region. These enhancements are part of GlobalConnect’s larger ambition to add over 3,000 km of fibre infrastructure throughout the Nordics.

    Why it’s important

    The cable will significantly boost redundancy and data transport capacity in the Baltic region, improving resilience against disruptions and supporting surging demand from data centres and AI workloads. This follows multiple recent cable incidents—including suspected sabotage—underlining the need for reliable digital routes. While the project enhances both regional connectivity and local access, its success will depend on securing environmental permits and carefully managing technical and geopolitical risks.
