French modular construction company Easycube hopes to close a deal during 2026 for its first accommodation project in Greenland.
Adrien Teissonnière, Easycube’s Business Unit Manager for Public Affairs, Defense & Security, told GreenlandEnergy.com that the company is in advanced discussions with a Greenlandic mayor. Both the design and financial offer are now being reviewed with the client.
Easycube has not identified the municipality or project location.
The proposed installation consists of one insulated and fully equipped 40 foot shipping container configured to accommodate two people. Each occupant would have a separate room, with a shared bathroom.
Teissonnière said the parties expect to finalize the design and equipment after the summer vacation period.
A Showroom for Wider Deployment
The initial project is small, but Easycube sees it as an entry point into the Greenland market.
Teissonnière described the unit as a first “showroom” through which the company can introduce its building system in Greenland and potentially duplicate the model at other locations.
Easycube expects factory production in France to take approximately one month. Based on the company’s current assessment, transportation, delivery and installation in Greenland could require an additional two to three months.
The unit would arrive largely completed as a ready to plug solution. Only limited civil work and simple foundations would be required at the site. The client would hire local electricians and plumbers to connect the building to local utility networks.
Shipping remains one of the largest practical challenges. Teissonnière said he was “stunned” by the cost of transporting containers to Greenland.
For larger projects, Easycube would consider a different model designed to reduce transportation costs and involve more of the Greenlandic workforce. That could include a local partnership, assembly training, skills transfer and continuing maintenance of completed buildings.
Easycube specializes in off site buildings and modular installations for remote and complex locations. Its systems range from individual accommodation units to larger camps, technical buildings, kitchens, clinics, workshops and warehouses.
The company attended Future Greenland 2026 in May as part of a French business delegation supported by Business France and other French institutions.
Defense Infrastructure Discussed in Nuuk
Easycube also heard about possible defense infrastructure needs during meetings surrounding Future Greenland, including a deployable camp and an aircraft storage building for Joint Arctic Command.
Teissonnière said most of those discussions occurred during events organized by DI Defence and Security.
The organization held a Defense Industry Seminar in Nuuk on May 21 as a separate extension of Future Greenland. Joint Arctic Command chief Søren Andersen addressed the seminar, which included sessions on Arctic procurement, projects and supply chain resilience.
No Easycube proposal or procurement process connected with those military requirements has been confirmed.
For now, the company’s most advanced Greenland opportunity remains the two person accommodation unit being discussed with the unnamed mayor.
The first installation would be modest. Its intended role is larger: prove the model in Greenland, then repeat it.
