DigitalBridge Sells Digita Group: Acquisition by GI Partners Signals Growth Ahead for Nordic Towers

Strategic Exit: DigitalBridge Finds Buyer for Expanding Nordic Asset

DigitalBridge Group (NYSE: DBRG) is handing over the reins of its fast-growing Nordic asset, Digita Group, to GI Partners in a transaction set to close during the first quarter of 2026. This agreement caps off a transformative seven-year stretch under DigitalBridge ownership, during which Digita evolved from a modest portfolio of about 200 tower sites into a major regional platform boasting over 950 locations spanning Finland and Iceland.

Acquisition Underscores Digita’s Role in Regional Connectivity and Growth

The deal places Digita Group—a cornerstone in the region’s digital and broadcast infrastructure—into the portfolio of GI Partners, a private investment firm known for backing core technology and data infrastructure. Digita has long played an essential part in Finnish society, largely through its extensive partnership with the nation’s public broadcaster, Yle. Under DigitalBridge’s tenure, the company aggressively expanded its data center and IoT businesses alongside its traditional telecom towers.

Key Milestones: Digita’s Rapid Growth and Diversification

Period Owner Tower Sites Platform Focus
Pre-2018 Before DigitalBridge ~200 Broadcast Infrastructure
2018–2025 DigitalBridge 950+ Telecom Towers, Data Centres, IoT
2026+ (Projected) GI Partners 950+ (growth focus) Independent Growth, Expansion of Services

GI Partners’ Acquisition Sets the Stage for Next Phase of Expansion

For GI Partners, this is a clear bet on the continued rise of digital infrastructure across Europe. With a solid foundation and established client base—including serving public and private sector broadcasters, telecom companies, and data service providers—Digita is positioned to benefit from the next wave of network expansion, digital transformation, and data growth across the Nordics. According to GI Partners, supporting Digita's management team will allow the company to capitalize on demand for connectivity and cloud infrastructure.

Deal Impact: What’s Next for DigitalBridge and Digita?

This acquisition not only underscores the value of specialized infrastructure platforms in Europe but also spotlights DigitalBridge’s strategy as an active asset manager: acquiring, scaling, and selling digital assets in high-growth regions. With Digita remaining independent under GI Partners, customers and stakeholders can expect continued focus on service quality and platform development.

Takeaway for Investors: While the transaction cements DigitalBridge’s position as a skilled digital infrastructure manager, all eyes will now turn to GI Partners and Digita’s ability to execute on growth and capitalize on expanding demand in data centers and IoT services throughout Finland and Iceland. The final closure in Q1 2026 could set a new benchmark for platform value in the European digital infrastructure market.
