About Blue Sphere
North Atlantic Infrastructure Initiative
Blue Sphere is an integrated infrastructure initiative for the North Atlantic, connecting Canada, Greenland, Iceland, and allied nations through dual-use undersea systems.
Core Pillars
- SMART-core subsea backbone — Fiber trunk routes with integrated DAS/DTS sensing
- Multi-layer connectivity — Satellite, VDES, mesh LoRa for resilience
- Sovereign compute — Edge-to-cloud architecture optimized for cold-climate operations
- Post-quantum security — Designed for "harvest now, decrypt later" threats
- Settlement infrastructure — Workforce, facilities, and governance models
Why the North?
The IEA projects global data center electricity demand rising from ~415 TWh (2024) to ~945 TWh by 2030. Cold-climate regions offer natural cooling advantages, while the Arctic's strategic position enables low-latency routes between North America, Europe, and Asia.
Governance Model
Blue Sphere uses a landlord model where territorial stakeholders own infrastructure rather than renting it. A Canada-led consortium (SPV) includes Greenlandic entities, allied partners, and commercial carriers as anchor tenants.
