Sovereign AI compute inside a Norwegian mountain.

Our first node is planned inside Lefdal Mine Datacenter in Norway: NVIDIA Blackwell clusters in sealed containers, behind security cages, deep in the rock. Safe from attack, cooled by the fjord and powered by 100% renewable energy.

What we look for in a home for sovereign AI.

Physical

One way in.

IT halls 700 meters inside a mountain, behind a single controlled entrance. Lefdal describes the site as having natural EMP security.

Cooling

The fjord does the work.

Cold fjord water cools the halls through a closed loop, with no mechanical chillers to power.

Energy

Clean power, zero emissions from it.

Local power production is 100% renewable, from hydro and wind, at some of Europe's lowest prices.

Network

Redundant fiber.

Multiple fiber routes from multiple carriers, so traffic follows paths we choose.

Jurisdiction

NATO territory.

Norway is a NATO member and part of the EEA. Operated by a non-US company, the node sits outside the direct reach of the US CLOUD Act.

Room to grow

Space for up to 200 MW.

Only one of the mine's six levels is in use, so a node can grow without moving.

What goes inside.

Aegis is planned. Agreements with the facility and its partners are in progress.

Footprint

One node per jurisdiction.

A node that served several countries would bring the legal conflict back, so every jurisdiction gets its own.

After Aegis, the long-term plan: Rockwell in Nevada, Cryo in Hokkaido, Aurora in New Zealand, Tempest in Patagonia and Atomic in Cape Town.

Why it matters

Data centers are now targets.

On 1 March 2026, drone strikes damaged three AWS data centers in the UAE and Bahrain, the first publicly confirmed military attack on a hyperscale cloud provider. Six months later, AWS said some of the data could not be restored. Why the next AI data centers go underground.

About Aegis

Straight answers to what investors and partners ask us first.

Aegis is planned inside Lefdal Mine Datacenter, a former olivine mine in Måløy, Norway, on NATO territory.

A single entrance, rock overhead and no exposed walls. In March 2026, drone strikes damaged three cloud data centers in the Gulf; physical protection is now part of sovereignty.

Yes. Until Aegis is live, PRISM can run on contracted NVIDIA Blackwell capacity in the client's jurisdiction.
