EdgeMode Merges with BlackBerry AIF to Create AI Data Center Powerhouse with 4.4GW Capacity Across Europe

Strategic deal targets $1B+ valuation and accelerates EdgeMode's position in AI-driven high-performance computing

A next-generation AI data infrastructure company, EdgeMode Inc. (OTC: EDGM), announced today it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to merge with BlackBerry AIF (BAIF) in a transformative deal that will expand EdgeMode's high-performance computing (HPC) and AI data center footprint in Europe's markets.

Under the terms of the proposed agreement, EdgeMode will acquire 100% of BAIF's issued share capital in exchange for equity and capital support. Upon closing, BAIF stakeholders will own 50% of the combined company. The merger is expected to add more than $140 million in assets to EdgeMode's balance sheet and propel the company's valuation toward the $1 billion mark.

The combined entity will control a 4.4 gigawatt (GW) pipeline of hyperscale-ready data center capacity across Spain and other parts of Europe, including 1 GW ready-to-build (RTB) by Q4 2025 and another 1.2 GW RTB by Q4 2027. The venture is anchored by 23 data center development sites, with over 2.2 GW already secured via land leases, zoning approvals, and dark fiber access.

"This merger with Blackberry AIF accelerates EdgeMode's transformation into a high-performance computing leader," said Charlie Faulkner, Chief Executive Officer of EdgeMode."By combining our infrastructure expertise with BAIF's strategic assets, we are establishing a scalable platform with multi-gigawatt capacity and a clear path to substantial market value. This transaction positions EdgeMode to capitalize on the growing demand for AI-driven data infrastructure and unlock long-term value for our shareholders."

EdgeMode plans to initially focus its rollout on its Marviken, Sweden site, where it has secured a 95MW power purchase agreement and has broken ground on its first 20MW facility. The company designs high-density, 100% renewable-powered infrastructure tailored for AI workloads, cloud computing, and HPC applications.

The global HPC market is expected to nearly double from $54 billion in 2024 to $110 billion by 2032, according to Fortune Business Insights, driven by surging AI adoption. EdgeModes business model includes both developing and selling hyperscale sites to data center operators and hyperscalers, as well as pursuing its colocation hosting strategy.

Jose Mora, CEO of BAIF, emphasized the strategic benefits of the merger, "This is a key partnership that brings global capital, execution capabilities, and public market access to our pipeline of next-generation AI data center assets. Together with EdgeMode, we aim to fast-track site development, attract hyperscale customers, drive investor confidence and long-term value creation" "This is a key partnership that brings global capital, execution capabilities, and public market access to our next-gen AI data center portfolio. With EdgeMode, we aim to fast-track development, attract hyperscale clients, and build lasting value."

The two parties have entered a 45-day due diligence period to finalize the definitive merger agreement.
