Sale reinforces AtlasEdge’s strategic focus on investing in larger, more scalable sites whilst allowing Templus to further strengthen its presence in Europe and key regional markets.

London, United Kingdom – 16 December, 2025

AtlasEdge, a leading European data centre provider, and Templus, one of the largest data centre platforms in Southern Europe, today announced an agreement for Templus to acquire nine data centres from AtlasEdge.

The nine centres are in Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Zurich, Paris, Amsterdam, London, Leeds and Copenhagen. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to complete in the first half of 2026.

For AtlasEdge, the sale reflects its strategic focus on larger sites with significant long-term growth potential, such as its current sites in Germany, Austria and Portugal, where it is already scaling its footprint. The company is developing a major new 42MW presence in Vienna – a key gateway for Central and Eastern Europe – and a 30MW state-of-the-art campus in Lisbon, where it plans to invest more than €500 million in the coming years. In October, AtlasEdge secured €253 million in green financing to support the development of the campus and formally launched the first of its three data centres, LIS001.

With this acquisition, Templus unlocks significant synergies in key Spanish markets, and starts its international expansion. Templus will manage a portfolio of more than 60MW and 750 customers distributed across high-growth colocation markets.

This is an exciting step forward for AtlasEdge. It strengthens our ability to invest in the regions where we see exceptional long-term growth, while ensuring these sites continue under a focused operator well-placed to support their future.”

Tesh Durvasula, CEO of AtlasEdge

With this acquisition, Templus begins its European internationalization, with the firm objective of growing in all markets that are now integrated into Templus’ network of regional data centres in Europe.”

Nacho Velilla, CEO of Templus

This transaction marks an important milestone as we continue to refine our portfolio around customer demand – focusing on higher-density, scalable and strategically located facilities in the markets where we see the greatest potential. These nine sites played a key part in our early formation, and we are delighted to have found in the Templus team a new owner who shares our passion for customers and operational excellence.”

Henry Harris, Chief Strategy Officer at AtlasEdge

This acquisition reinforces Templus’ commitment to providing a resilient, proximity-based and state-of-the-art digital infrastructure. These strategically located facilities benefit from excellent connectivity through a variety of carrier options, while providing European businesses with a sovereign and native infrastructure for regulatory compliance. This is critical for AI-ready operations, regulatory alignment, and hybridisation with centralised cloud ecosystems.”

Felix de la Fuente, Chief Commercial Officer of Templus

AtlasEdge will retain operational responsibility for the facilities and continue to serve customers until completion of the transaction.
