Alaska Launches InvestNorth Platform and Alaska Data Corporation to Drive Digital Infrastructure Investment
Governor Mike Dunleavy has announced two major initiatives aimed at attracting emerging technology industries to Alaska: the launch of InvestNorth, an infrastructure financing platform, and the creation of the Alaska Data Corporation LLC (AKDC). Developed in partnership with Plural, these initiatives seek to leverage public-private partnerships to build digital infrastructure, specifically targeting data center development. InvestNorth utilizes Plural's AssetOS technology, employing tokenization to provide transparency and automate ownership and payment tracking. A key component of the strategy is to allow individual Alaskans to hold ownership stakes in these projects, ensuring state revenue and job creation remain local. The AKDC will act as a government entity under the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) to co-invest with private developers.
