Biography
Co-founder and CEO of Airon, a Swedish technology company pioneering AI factories that transform Sweden's abundant electricity into high-value computing power. Robert launched the first facility in 2020, well before the AI boom, securing early partnerships with Nvidia and positioning Airon ahead of most European competitors. Airon maintains true sovereignty over the entire stack end to end: designing, building, owning and operating its data centers, owning the GPUs, and controlling the networking infrastructure.
