Nscale announced the acquisition of Future-tech, a European data center engineering consultancy.
Future-tech will brings experience and an team of around 60 people into Nscale, including designers, engineers, consultants, project managers, technical specialists and operators. This will help Nscale move even faster on global execution – from concept design through to deployment – at a time when demand for AI infrastructure is growing in every region.
“Future-tech has spent decades designing and building data centers, solving real engineering challenges for customers,” said Josh Payne, CEO of Nscale. “Their team has impressed me with their ability to deliver quality work, quickly, and at scale. By bringing that expertise into Nscale, we’re able to move more quickly on behalf of our customers around the world.”
The acquisition follows a series of major milestones for Nscale this year. The company has expanded its leadership team with the addition of Nidhi Chappell as President of AI Infrastructure, announced its European expansion in Iceland with Verne, and deepened its relationship with Microsoft through a plan to deploy approximately 200,000 NVIDIA GB300 GPUs across Europe. Nscale also closed a $1.1 billion Series B funding round, the largest in European history.
James Wilman, CEO of Future-tech said, “Joining Nscale is a natural next step for Future-tech. We see firsthand how fast AI is changing the requirements for data centres, and Nscale is one of the companies truly out in front of that wave. It’s an exciting time to be part of a business making major moves in AI infrastructure globally. By combining our specialist engineering and delivery capability with Nscale’s scale and ambition, we can do even more for our shared customers in the years ahead.”
Future-tech will begin integrating into Nscale over the coming months, with a focus on combining teams around design, project delivery and operations while maintaining continuity for existing clients.
