The three Hyperco founders and the existing team will continue to manage the company, EDGNEX said.
“We plan to build a significant future capacity in the Nordics and establish a strong foothold in the market,” said Hussain Sajwani, Founder of DAMAC Group.
Aleksi Taipale, Co-founder and CEO, Hyperco, said the company is well-positioned to meet the growing digital demands of the region and beyond, given its access to low-carbon energy and focus on scalability.
EDGNEX is on track to deliver 55 MW in the Middle East by 2025, with a projected global capacity exceeding 3,000 MW.
The company is targeting over 300 MW of operational capacity by 2026, supported by a robust investment pipeline of over $3bn, including key Southeast Asian markets.
Its European activities include a €150m ($162m) joint venture in Greece with Public Power Corporation to develop up to 25 MW and a €400m ($432m) commitment to build a 40 MW data centre in Madrid, Spain.
Earlier this year, EDGNEX announced $20bn of foreign investment in building state-of-the-art data centres in the US.
