Simpson Thacher advised EQT on seeding its AI Infrastructure strategy, which will focus on building the physical infrastructure underpinning artificial intelligence. The strategy will leverage EQT Infrastructure’s deep experience and leadership in digital and energy infrastructure and is seeded by global data center developer and operator EdgeConneX.
EQT Infrastructure portfolio companies will continue to work with all major hyperscalers, chip designers, AI native companies and neoclouds to drive investment into this crucial part of the next generation of AI.
The strategy is designed to address this significant demand by leveraging its deep expertise across the entire spectrum of infrastructure and enhancing collaboration across its infrastructure portfolio.
The Simpson Thacher team included Ed Ford, Robert Lee, Lavinia Mo and Samuel Willing (Funds); Anthony King, Frederick W.P. de Albuquerque, Sherry Shen, Luca Tomasi, Price Figurelli-Reid and Soraia Esteves (U.S. M&A) and John Goldstein and Brian Mendick (U.S. Tax).
