DayOne Secures Up To 1 Bln Euros Financing For Global Expansion

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 5 (Bernama) -- DayOne Data Centers, a Singapore-headquartered data centre developer and operator, has secured a mezzanine financing facility of 500 million euros, expandable up to one billion euros upon mutual agreement. (1 Euro = RM4.78)

The financing comes from global investment firm Brookfield and a global sovereign investor, both long-term investors with significant infrastructure expertise, according to DayOne in a statement.

DayOne Chief Executive Officer, Jamie Khoo said the facility strengthens the company’s long-term capital base and supports the continued build-out of its global platform.

“This financing aligns with the scale and pace of digital infrastructure required by our customers and reflects investor confidence in our strategy and execution,” he added.

The borrowing is secured by DayOne’s Finland platform, with proceeds earmarked to support the rollout of hyperscale developments in Lahti and Kouvola. The financing structure also provides flexibility to allocate funds to other key growth markets, enabling the company to capture rising demand for artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure.

This capital solution adds to DayOne’s US$1.9 billion raised across Series A and Series B equity rounds and further supports its expanding presence in Europe and Asia-Pacific.

In August 2025, DayOne announced a 1.2 billion euros investment commitment in Lahti. Together with a joint-venture hyperscale development in Kouvola, the company is advancing nearly 300 megawatts (MW) of planned capacity across Finland.

DayOne continues to build a global platform of hyperscale data centres, with a development pipeline spanning Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, Hong Kong and Finland.
