Chips, electricity, cooling: These Swiss companies bring AI to life
Data centers are packed with equipment and inventions from Switzerland. The NZZ presents the companies that make the AI boom possible - and benefit from it.
Several Swiss companies are playing a crucial role in the boom of artificial intelligence by supplying data centers with high-tech equipment and components. Companies such as VAT, Comet, Inficon, and Huber + Suhner are providing products like computer chips, sensors, and transformers that are essential for the operation of data centers.
Swiss firms like ABB, Accelleron, LEM, and Belimo are also contributing to the development of data centers, with products ranging from power distribution and transmission to cooling systems. The demand for these products is driving growth for these companies, with VAT reporting a significant increase in orders and hiring hundreds of new employees.
Logistics company Kühne + Nagel is also benefiting from the trend, with a 25% increase in air freight revenue and a new partnership with Amazon to transport materials for its cloud infrastructure.
