In a strategic move to bolster its technical capabilities, IREN Limited has completed the acquisition of the Spanish firm Nostrum. This acquisition is designed to secure 490MW of power capacity and establish a direct entry point into the European AI market. Through this deal, the company aims to accelerate its expansion by adding significant development sites and local expertise to support the growth of AI infrastructure.
This expansion occurs as cloud service providers like Amazon and Microsoft race to scale their data center footprints in Europe, where the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 7% through 2029 according to Mordor Intelligence reports. The deal positions IREN alongside industry peers such as Equinix and Digital Realty, which currently dominate the region's digital infrastructure, per market data.
