Gorilla Secures $1.4 Billion AI Data Centre Contract in Southeast Asia—Major Expansion to Begin with $300 Million Phase in Indonesia
Gorilla Positioned as Southeast Asia's AI Infrastructure Leader
Gorilla Technology Group (NASDAQ: GRRR) has taken a decisive step into the booming Southeast Asian AI market by signing a three-year, $1.4 billion contract with Singapore’s Freyr to build and operate a network of AI-powered data centres across the region. The agreement, one of the largest for AI infrastructure in Southeast Asia, cements Gorilla’s role as the principal operator, orchestrating both the technology stack and multi-year service agreements.
Initial $300 Million Investment Targets Indonesian Market—Larger Expansion Ahead
Execution kicks off in Indonesia with a $300 million Phase One investment, starting in Q4 2025. The companies aim to serve enterprise and government demand in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, positioning themselves at the heart of an industry projected to reach $12–15 billion in market size within the coming years. Gorilla’s proprietary AI stack—ranging from GPU-as-a-Service to orchestration software—will power these new centres, delivering managed performance and uptime over an initial three-year period, with potential for further extension.
Contract Structure and Growth Ambitions Highlight Regional Focus
The contract’s structure underscores a deep local knowledge advantage, combining Gorilla’s experience with Freyr’s regional expansion platform. Both companies have indicated that this partnership marks just the beginning; together, they are already exploring new opportunities potentially worth at least $2.5 billion in the next several years. Detailed project schedules, Statements of Work, and site selections for Phase One are currently underway, with initial services set to go live in early 2026.
| Project Phase | Value (USD) | Start Date | Countries |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase One | $300 million | Q4 2025 | Indonesia |
| Full Contract | $1.4 billion | 2025–2028 | Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand |
| Expansion Opportunities | At least $2.5 billion (targeted) | 2026 and beyond | SE Asia |
AI Infrastructure Market Growth Creates Significant Upside
This contract leverages a key trend: as Southeast Asian enterprises and governments modernize, demand for secure, high-performance AI data centres is outpacing traditional hyperscale models. Gorilla’s approach emphasizes sovereign, intelligent infrastructure that responds to regional regulatory, security, and latency needs—critical for government and enterprise customers alike.
“Having secured a customer of this calibre, a multi-billion-dollar telco with unmatched scale and reputation, is a powerful validation of Gorilla's capability,” noted Gorilla’s CEO, Jay Chandan. Freyr’s CEO Cary Liu reinforced the expansionist vision: “We are not just keeping pace with demand, we are shaping it.”
What This Means for Investors and the Region
This landmark deal underscores the shift towards locally-driven AI solutions in emerging markets. For investors, Gorilla’s position as infrastructure lead across three major Southeast Asian economies could signal long-term contract revenue and access to future expansion projects in a rapidly growing sector. Ongoing execution, timely deployment, and partnership success will be the key factors to monitor as Gorilla transitions from contract win to operational rollout.
While there are always risks associated with such large-scale, multi-year contracts—including execution, regional regulation, and competitive responses—the deal places Gorilla in a strategic position to capitalize on Southeast Asia’s digital infrastructure transformation. For anyone watching the evolution of AI in Asia, this is a development worth following closely.
