- EQT is discussing potential artificial-intelligence and data-centre investments with sovereign investors in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
- EdgeConneX gives EQT an established platform for possible Gulf expansion, while execution and partnership terms remain the next investor focus.
EQT is exploring potential joint artificial-intelligence and infrastructure investments with sovereign investors in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. The National reported the discussions on November 3, citing EQT global chair Jean Eric Salata.
AI infrastructure remains exploratory
The talks cover artificial intelligence, data centres and related infrastructure rather than a completed transaction. EQT plans to use portfolio company EdgeConneX to support a possible regional expansion. The platform operates more than 106 data centres across 25 countries.
The opportunity reflects the Gulf's push to build computing and digital infrastructure. For EQT, the investment case depends on securing partners, converting discussions into projects and delivering returns through its portfolio companies. The National reported that EQT opened an office in Abu Dhabi in September to strengthen ties with sovereign wealth funds, family offices and institutional investors.
What has changed since our last report
The latest Lang & Schwarz quote was 28.09 euros at 17:07 CET on Monday, November 9, 2026. The previous report on the same day quoted 27.71 euros at 10:19 CET, putting the later quote 1.37 percent higher; this is a separate comparison from any Xetra session.
The discussions add a potential growth avenue to EQT's existing private-markets and digital-infrastructure exposure, but no transaction size, structure or timetable has been announced. Investors will therefore focus on named partners, project commitments and evidence that EdgeConneX can translate regional demand into deployable investments.
