- EQT is exploring joint artificial-intelligence and data-centre investments with sovereign investors in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
- Portfolio company Zelestra is shifting its growth strategy toward US electricity demand from artificial-intelligence projects.
- The developments expand EQT's exposure to infrastructure themes but make execution the next investor focus.
EQT is pursuing two growth avenues linked to artificial-intelligence infrastructure: potential Gulf partnerships and a major US expansion by portfolio company Zelestra. The developments were reported during the week and add new execution questions for the private-markets group.
Gulf Talks Target AI Infrastructure
The National reported on Tuesday, November 3, that EQT was in talks with sovereign investors in the UAE and Saudi Arabia about joint artificial-intelligence and infrastructure investments. Global chair Jean Eric Salata identified data infrastructure and data centres as key areas of interest.
EQT plans to use its portfolio company EdgeConneX to expand its Gulf AI infrastructure footprint. The company operates more than 106 data centres across 25 countries, according to the report. The discussions remain exploratory rather than an announced transaction, so their financial effect and timing are not yet defined.
Zelestra Pivots Toward US Demand
On Thursday, November 5, Bloomberg reported that Zelestra plans to invest 10.5 billion euros over four years to serve rising US electricity demand from AI projects. The Spanish renewable-energy company is owned by EQT and is shifting its 2026-2030 strategy toward the United States.
The plan gives EQT exposure to the power and infrastructure requirements of data-centre growth. For investors, the key issues are project execution, financing and whether the strategy can convert AI-related demand into durable portfolio-company growth.
