REED - Societe Generale Group invests in Voltekko Tech, a platform specialized in energy-efficient data centers

As Europe's demand for data centers and the need for digital sovereignty continue to grow, REED - Societe Generale Group invests in Voltekko Tech, an emerging European player in the sector, to support its development.

Paris, May 6, 2025 REED - Societe Generale Group, a European investment firm bringing together industrial expertise, technology, and infrastructure projects, announces its equity investment in Voltekko Tech, Voltekko Group's holding company. Voltekko Tech is a platform specializing in next-generation data centers through energy efficient operational environments. This marks REED - Societe Generale Group's seventh equity stake since its first investment in November 2024.

This investment represents a strategic development milestone for Voltekko Group, an emerging leader in next-generation European data centers which is majority-owned by Voltekko Tech.

Meeting the growing demand for data centers and their environmental challenges

As the number of data centers in Europe is expected to grow by 13% per year in the coming years, Voltekko stands out through its innovative approach to designing and operating next-generation data centers that improve energy performance and minimize environmental impact. This is a crucial area of development, as between 2023 and 2030, electricity consumption of European data centers is projected to increase by around 85 TWh.

Operating in France, Portugal, Spain, and Italy, Voltekko offers modular, innovative solutions tailored to the evolving needs of the next-generation data center market. These solutions feature high-performance, eco-friendly environments with optimized energy efficiency, renewable electricity sources, and advanced cooling processes that comply with the strictest environmental regulations. Voltekko's offer also supports the use of new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), and the ambition to build sovereign European cloud infrastructure.

To design and build its asset portfolio, Voltekko Group relies on the expertise of Equans (Bouygues Group) and has established an industrial partnership with this global leader in energy, digital, and industrial transition, and a major player in data center construction and maintenance in Europe.

Accelerating the development of a European next-generation data center player

REED - Societe Generale Group's investment will enable Voltekko to accelerate its growth plans and expand its data center network to up to 10 sites. This will allow Voltekko to significantly contribute to Europe's technological sovereignty while optimizing its environmental impact. Voltekko will also benefit from REED - Societe Generale Group's expertise in infrastructure financing and development, and its know-how in energy transition, while reinforcing Voltekko's ambitious growth trajectory.

Julien Touati, CEO of REED - Societe Generale Group, stated:
"The unprecedented transformation of our economy depends on our ability to provide significant financial resources to support the rise of new technological models and the development of resilient infrastructure. In this spirit, we are proud to support Voltekko in becoming a pan- European champion in digital infrastructure aligned with sustainable development goals.
