KfW IPEX-Bank contributes substantially to the EUR 1.2 billion financing facility for AtlasEdge, a leading European data centre platform. The seven-year facility provides EUR 738 million in committed debt financing and a further EUR 500 million uncommitted accordion, representing AtlasEdge’s largest ever financing.

“We are glad to contribute with our financing to this enormous investment in digital infrastructure by our customer AtlasEdge” says Aida Welker, Member of the Management Board of KfW IPEX-Bank. “It is a key priority for us to strengthen digital sovereignty in Europe.”

The funds will accelerate the company’s expansion across Europe, including key developments in Germany and Belgium. The expansion will be driven by both greenfield assets as well as expanding brownfield assets, especially in Germany where the data centres are in Berlin, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Leverkusen and Stuttgart. All sites will comply with state-of-the-art efficiency standards.

AtlasEdge is a joint venture between Liberty Global and DigitalBridge.
