Close to the deep-water Port of Sines, a key hub for North-South and East-West maritime routes, the region also benefits from a strong academic presence, supplying a skilled workforce from leading universities and technical schools.

SINES DC, located in Portugal's largest industrial zone, ZILS, is where we are developing an innovative seawater cooling solution from a decommissioned power plant's infrastructure, optimizing energy efficiency and sustainability.

The SINES Data Center (SINES DC) is strategically located on the Portuguese coast in Sines, approximately 90 km from Lisbon. Its prime location offers exceptional subsea and terrestrial connectivity, making it a key hub for international data transfer.
