About
hscale develops scalable, AI-ready data centre infrastructures across EMEA to meet the increasing demand for high performance data infrastructure.
Our company.
hscale is focused on developing customer friendly, replicable and scalable digital infrastructure across the EMEA region. We build bespoke spaces that are flexible to hyperscale customers’ rapidly evolving requirements so that each one is tailor made to individual specifications.
We are led by a newly-appointed, deeply experienced team who have joined the platform from across the European data centre sector and bring significant expertise and knowledge of the regulatory landscape across the region.
A key element of all our partnerships is building honest, transparent customer relationships with emphasis on delivering projects built to order and on time. The way we work offers the quickest route to market, allowing customers to monetise their investments quickly and serve growing demand.
Bain Capital backing brings the financial security to invest long-term and at-scale on behalf of our hyperscaler customers.
Our
responsibility
Sustainability by Design: Delivering Future-Proof Data Centres
We integrate sustainability into every phase of data centre development – from power sourcing and land use to design, construction, and operations. Our focus is on creating flexible, efficient, and scalable solutions that meet customer requirements, reduce carbon footprint, and ensure long-term resilience.
Through partnerships with renewable energy providers and a product-driven approach to innovation, we balance environmental responsibility with performance and speed-to-market – delivering value for our customers and stakeholders alike.
Abed Jishi, Chief Technology Officer:
Our approach to sustainability is pragmatic and customer-focused. We design data centres that are energy-efficient, scalable, and tailored to evolving AI and cloud demands. By offering both air-cooled and liquid-cooled solutions, we provide clients with flexible, cost-effective options that balance performance and environmental impact.
With the backing of Bain Capital, we are scaling a platform built for speed, flexibility, and sustainability. Our focus is clear: deliver hyperscale-ready data centres that meet today’s AI-driven demands while responsibly managing resources and environmental impact.
Our ESG
commitments
Renewable energy supply
We are committed to being 100% renewable whenever possible, aligning our operations with our sustainability goals. Across EMEA, we collaborate closely with Aquila Clean Energy, our trusted partner in driving clean energy solutions. Together, we form a strong alliance for power purchase agreements (PPAs) and co-development of projects, integrating data centres with renewable energy infrastructure.
Sustainable growth
We prioritise a low carbon footprint across both the design and operation of our facilities. Our approach is aligned with the EU Code of Conduct on Data Centre Energy Efficiency and the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact (CNDCP) targets. We actively map our environmental footprints by gathering detailed information on the impact of what we build and operate. This data supports our annual ESG reporting, ensuring transparency and accountability in our sustainability efforts.
Social & Nature Care
We are locally present, actively contributing to the social and ecological ecosystems of the communities in which we operate. We partner with CleanHub to support the collection of plastic waste from the oceans, helping to protect marine environments and promote sustainability.
Workplace
Health and safety are fundamental to everything we do, ensuring a secure environment for all our employees and partners. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are core values that guide our culture and decision-making, fostering a workplace where everyone feels respected and valued.
