The investment underscores Mubadala’s commitment to strengthening its global presence in the data centre industry as it becomes a minority partner in Aligned Data Centres.
Mubadala’s investment in Aligned Data Centres marks a significant step in the company’s ongoing efforts to bolster its digital infrastructure portfolio.

PDG, a pan-Asia data centre company, received a $350 million investment from Mubadala, solidifying its position as a key player in the rapidly growing data centre market in Asia. This successful partnership has paved the way for Mubadala’s latest investment in Aligned Data Centres, showcasing the investment company’s strategic approach to global expansion within the industry.
