3E Network Partners With Finland’s Orka Technologies to Build AI Data Center
3E Network Technology Group has announced a new international push into AI infrastructure, signing a cooperation agreement with Orka Technologies Oy to jointly develop an AI-focused data center project in Finland.
The agreement marks a strategic step for the Nasdaq-listed company as it looks to expand beyond its existing IT services business and move deeper into the fast-growing global AI data center market.
What the Deal Covers
Under the three-year main service agreement, the project will roll out in phases:
Year 1: Initial capacity of 6 megawatts (MW)
Following years: Expansion of at least 10MW annually
The goal is to build scalable, energy-efficient infrastructure designed to support AI workloads, cloud services, and colocation demand across Europe.
Who Does What?
According to the announcement:
3E Network will handle funding, technical planning, and operational support for the data infrastructure.
Orka Technologies will contribute local expertise, including resource integration and experience working with Finnish government agencies to secure approvals and policy support.
To oversee the project locally, 3E Network plans to set up a wholly owned subsidiary in Finland, with Orka assisting in regulatory setup and ecosystem integration.
Why Finland?
3E Network CEO Dr. Yang Tingjun said Finland was chosen as the company’s European base due to its unique advantages.
“Finland offers one of Europe’s most stable power grids, access to cost-effective green energy, and a strong policy environment for technology infrastructure,” Yang said.
Finland has increasingly become a hotspot for data centers thanks to its cool climate, renewable energy availability, and strong digital infrastructure.
A Bigger Shift Toward AI Infrastructure
3E Network describes itself as a B2B IT solutions provider with ambitions to become a next-generation AI infrastructure company. This project signals its entry into the international AI data center and colocation market, an area seeing rising investment as demand for AI computing power surges worldwide.
Recent Financial Context
The announcement comes amid a challenging period for the company. 3E Network recently completed a $1.5 million private placement of convertible notes, raising approximately $1.38 million in net proceeds. It has also approved a 2025 equity incentive plan, disclosed in filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Separately, the company received a Nasdaq notice related to failing to maintain the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share after prolonged trading below that level.
Despite these headwinds, the Finland data center project suggests 3E Network is positioning itself for longer-term growth tied to AI and digital infrastructure.
