Stelia, the AI acceleration platform, and Polar, Europe’s leader in AI-ready data centers, announced a partnership set to redefine enterprise AI adoption. This collaboration integrates Stelia’s innovative data mobility platform with Polar’s state-of-the-art, sustainable AI-ready data center infrastructure, backed by a recent €500 million investment.
“This partnership removes the complexities of AI implementation,” said Stelia CEO Tobias Hooton. “Beyond facilitating AI adoption; we’re creating innovation potential previously unattainable for most enterprises.”
The new alliance integrates Stelia’s AI ecosystem orchestration with Polar’s growing network of AI-optimized data centers, powered by 100% renewable hydroelectric energy. This combination offers a unique environment for AI teams to eliminate the boundaries to innovation while maintaining the highest standards of security and sustainability.
Polar, emerging from stealth mode just last month, has already demonstrated significant market traction with 100% of its initial data center capacity pre-sold. The company is actively developing several AI-optimized data center projects across Europe, all powered by 100% renewable energy.
Andy Hayes, CEO of Polar, commented: ” We evaluated many providers and Stelia are the only option meeting the performance requirements of AI workloads. Together, we’re creating AI-native infrastructure that simplifies AI deployment while meeting the diverse, growing needs of global enterprises. This is about making advanced AI accessible, secure, and sustainable.”
