EQT-backed EdgeConneX, a global data center provider, and Aboitiz InfraCapital, the infrastructure arm of the Aboitiz Group, one of the Philippines’ leading conglomerates, agreed to form a joint venture. Financial terms were not disclosed. "There is great excitement about the partnership and the incredible market opportunity the partnership enables. The Philippines is underserved and seeing high domestic data demand growth relative to Southeast Asia. Our market size, favorable demographics, and proliferation of subsea cables make the Philippines an ideal destination for data center investments. We also have access to prime real estate in both city centers, such as Manila, as well as emerging economic hubs like Batangas. We’re thrilled to have a premier global data center partner in EdgeConneX," Cosette V. Canilao, Aboitiz InfraCapital President and CEO.
