SWI Group Unveils UK Data Center, Expands AiOnX Platform to Power Europe’s AI and Cloud Surge

SWI Group, the alternative investment platform recently formed by Stoneweg Group and Icona Capital, is doubling down on Europe's AI and cloud boom with plans for its first UK hyperscale data center. According to a press release published by the company, the new site in Cambridgeshire will ultimately scale to 330MW, making it one of the UK’s largest facilities. The center is designed to serve the burgeoning tech cluster in the UK’s so-called "Golden Triangle," encompassing Cambridge, Oxford, and London.

This project becomes the fifth hyperscale asset under SWI Group’s newly branded AiOnX platform, joining sites in Ireland, Denmark, Spain, and Italy. Combined, the five data centers represent an ambitious roadmap: a total projected capacity of 2GW backed by over €20 billion in investments, positioning AiOnX as one of Europe’s largest data center owners.

"When we first got involved with data centers six years ago, we could see the demand for computing was going to grow dramatically, but the explosion in the growth of AI has taken even us by surprise," noted Max-Hervé George, Chairman and Co-CEO of SWI Group.

SWI Group is an alternative investment platform with operations spanning data centers, real estate, credit, and financial services. With over €10 billion in assets under management and 350+ employees across 26 offices worldwide.
