Vertical Data Inc. (OTCQB: VDTA), a vertically integrated AI infrastructure company, announced that it has entered into a definitive purchase agreement through its majority-owned subsidiary, Vertical Data Nordic AB, to acquire an existing industrial data center site with 4.5 MW of power capacity in Sollefteå Municipality in Central Sweden. The agreement marks a significant step in the company's strategy to expand its global data center footprint and capitalize on the growing demand for AI infrastructure.
If the transaction proceeds, Vertical Data intends to continue pursuing an application for up to 100 MW of total power capacity to build out an AI data center facility. The company said the project is among several in an active conversion pipeline representing more than 250 MW of global data center opportunities. Closing is anticipated in the next several weeks and remains subject to financing, corporate approvals, applicable regulatory clearances, and other closing conditions.
The acquisition underscores Vertical Data's commitment to providing comprehensive AI infrastructure solutions. The company operates three platforms: VerticalData.io, which provides enterprise GPU provisioning and managed infrastructure; GPUfinancing.com, which arranges structured financing for GPU deployments; and Vertical Edge, which holds equity in the data centers the Company sources, develops, leases, and manages. Together, these platforms deliver hardware, financing, and facilities under one company.
This move is particularly important as the demand for AI computing power continues to surge globally. Data centers are the backbone of AI development, and securing power capacity is a critical bottleneck. By acquiring this site in Sweden, Vertical Data is positioning itself to meet the needs of enterprises and sovereign entities seeking reliable, scalable AI infrastructure. The potential expansion to 100 MW would make it a significant player in the European data center market, which is experiencing rapid growth due to AI adoption.
