Swedish audio-streaming service Spotify is one of Google Cloud’s earliest customers, welcomed a Google Cloud region in its home country.
“Over the past decade, we’ve forged a valuable partnership with Google Cloud, growing and innovating together. In a space where speed is paramount and even milliseconds matter, the new Google Cloud region in Sweden will be a catalyst for accelerating innovation for Swedish businesses and digital unicorns. We’re excited to be part of this evolution and growing cloud community,” said Tyson Singer, VP of Technology & Platforms, Spotify.
This new region provides Swedish businesses, organizations, and individuals with a powerful new platform for growth, powered by Google Cloud technologies like AI, machine learning, and data analytics.
This region also directly addresses data residency requirements and digital sovereignty concerns, removing key barriers to cloud adoption for many Swedish organizations. For the first time, these organizations can harness the full potential of Google Cloud’s services while maintaining control over their data’s location. From startups disrupting traditional industries to established enterprises undergoing digital transformation, the new region in Sweden will provide the infrastructure and tools needed to thrive in the AI era.
