RISE and Intel collaborate

The research institute RISE in Luleå and Intel will collaborate to develop sustainable solutions for heat dissipation from integrated circuits through air and liquid cooling.

Intel is a world leader in the design and manufacture of key technologies that power the cloud and an increasingly connected world. The collaboration with RISE joins partners such as Meta, Ericsson, Vattenfall, ABB, Luleå University of Technology, Vertiv and BP Castrol.

“We want to come closer to the industrial needs and direct bi-lateral collaborations help the dialogue. This way we can continue to develop our thought leadership together with our industry collaborators,” says Tor Björn Minde, Director ICE Data Centre at RISE in Luleå. ICE stands for Infrastructure and Cloud research & test Environment (ICE)

RISE data center research is based in Luleå, and RISE is owned by the Swedish government and supported by EU and national funds. In collaboration with universities, business and the public sector, RISE conducts industrial research and innovation, with the overall goal of supporting sustainable growth by strengthening industry's competitiveness and ability to be at the forefront.

The collaboration in Luleå will use the large-scale test environment with data center modules, climate and heat boxes, wind tunnels, test beds for edge and liquid cooling, and make simulations, and develop concepts for demonstrations and tests for data collection and analysis.

“Through the Intel and RISE collaboration, thermal innovations for future cloud and server platforms and facilities will come to market sooner, with the goal of benefiting the entire industry and the planet.” said Viktor Tymchenko, Intel Vice President, Data Center Group, Platform Hardware Engineering Division.
