HONG KONG, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 3 E Network Technology Group Limited (Nasdaq: MASK) (the “Company” or “3 E Network”), a business-to-business (“B2B”) information technology (“IT”) business solutions provider, committed to becoming a next-generation artificial intelligence (“AI”) infrastructure solutions provider, today provided a strategic update in response to the continued AI infrastructure investment boom in the Nordic region, highlighted by recent capital commitments exceeding tens of billions of euros, reaffirming the importance of the Finnish market in the Company’s global AI compute footprint.

3 E Network believes that the concentrated influx of hyperscale capital reflects a shift for the Nordic AI compute industry, transitioning from early-stage isolated deployments into a high-density cluster phase. As a professional and neutral AI infrastructure provider serving a broad range of market demands, the Company is leveraging a dual-engine strategy of “software-defined engineering” and “deep ecosystem integration.” By benefiting from infrastructure development driven by major technology investments, 3 E Network aims to establish the Mikkeli project as a next-generation compute hub that combines ultra-high compute density, outstanding PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) performance, and compliance with European data sovereignty regulations. Currently, the project is advancing its high-density engineering pre-validation and physical blueprint optimization for next-generation architectures such as Vera Rubin, leveraging the Company’s recently deployed Digital Twin and CFD simulation technologies.

Macro Trends: Capital Influx in Nordic AI Compute Clusters

As global demand for AI compute rapidly transitions from standalone deployments to Gigawatt scale clusters, the Nordic region—renowned for its abundant green power supply and optimal polar cooling conditions—is experiencing an unprecedented concentration of capital. Recent public industry data reveals that beyond sustained investments by top-tier cloud providers deploying data center campuses deeply integrated with waste heat recovery systems in southern Finland, another industry leader recently announced a commitment of over tens of billions of euros in Finland over the next two years. This significant investment aims to construct an expansive infrastructure network encompassing intelligent computing centers, high-voltage grid enhancements, clean energy, and utility-scale battery storage.

These investments are expected not only to contribute billions of dollars to Finland’s GDP and create thousands of high-skill jobs, but also to support 3 E Network’s commercial foresight in selecting Mikkeli, Finland, as the location for its planned next-generation AI computing center. Sustained hyperscale capital injection is reshaping local hardware supply chains, power networks, and industrial utilities, driving structural engineering upgrades and cluster development across the region.

Infrastructure Dividends: Empowering Finland’s Physical Compute Foundation

With the continuous influx of capital from multiple global tech giants, Finland is establishing a well-developed physical infrastructure ecosystem. 3 E Network anticipates that this macro investment trend may bring several direct benefits to the physical deployment and operational efficiency of its Mikkeli AI Data Center:

  • Highly Mature Grid and Green Energy Supply Chain: Sustained investments by industry giants are accelerating the upgrade of local grid facilities and high-voltage transmission corridors in Finland. 3 E Network’s high-density AI data centers will directly benefit from the robust regional power architecture and abundant, cost-competitive clean energy (hydro and wind power). For various large organizations, enterprise clients, and research institutions, this translates to hedging against global energy price volatility, supporting more predictable Operating Expenses, and reducing Scope 2 carbon emissions.
  • Synergistic Evolution of Storage and Microgrid Technologies: The successive deployment of large-scale battery storage projects in Finland has enhanced the peak-shaving and fault-tolerance capabilities of the regional grid. Modern trillion-parameter large model training cycles often span months and have minimal tolerance for microsecond-level voltage fluctuations. This macro-grid upgrade provides a supportive external environment for 3 E Network to explore integrated “Generation-Grid-Load-Storage” microgrid models, to support a continuous power supply for long-duration AI model training.
  • Infrastructure Spillover Effect and CapEx Optimization: The concentrated influx of capital may reduce the marginal construction costs of regional ultra-high-speed fiber optic networks, novel cooling medium supply chains, and municipal utilities. By capturing these underlying infrastructure spillover dividends, 3 E Network can construct a high-density physical compute foundation with greater deployment efficiency and superior Capital Expenditure optimization, while maintaining commercial neutrality.

Ecosystem & Compliance: Constructing an Independent, Neutral European AI Data Center “Safe Harbor”

Beyond physical infrastructure benefits, the ecosystem maturation brought about by major investments provides significant support for 3 E Network’s open market positioning that embraces diversified compute demands:

  • Interconnected AI R&D Talent Ecosystem: Long-term capital commitment has supported a “software-hardware synergy” ecosystem in Finland, encompassing top-tier research institutions, cutting-edge liquid cooling component suppliers, and vibrant open-source communities. This enables 3 E Network to efficiently assemble localized operations teams with world-class thermal management and hardware architecture expertise, further strengthening Service Level Agreement compliance capabilities for a broad customer base.
  • Data Sovereignty and Compliance Shield: Operating within the stringent data sovereignty frameworks of the EU AI Act and General Data Protection Regulation, Finland’s established regulatory environment allows the Company to offer a secure European “data safe harbor.” This may significantly mitigate compliance risks for large institutional clients, enterprise clients, and core research teams that are highly sensitive to the privacy of core algorithms, training datasets, and proprietary models.
  • Differentiated Competition and Avoidance of “Vendor Lock-in”: Multi-billion euro investments by hyperscalers primarily serve their proprietary public cloud ecosystems. 3 E Network is dedicated to serving a wider, diversified market, providing independent, neutral, and highly customizable physical compute services for a wide range of institutional clients, large enterprises, top academic institutions, and independent AI researchers who seek to avoid “Vendor Lock-in” from single cloud providers, thus fully enjoying the industrial dividends brought by regional scale effects.

Management Vision and Future Outlook

Dr. Tingjun Yang, Chief Executive Officer of 3 E Network, stated: “The sustained infrastructure investments by multiple global tech giants in Finland over recent years, coupled with the recent influx of over tens of billions of euros in new capital, send a strong signal of the global shift of AI infrastructure towards high-latitude, high-green-energy Nordic regions. This aligns closely with 3 E Network’s strategic assessment. The deployments by industry pioneers have supported the development of local engineering supply chain, power networks, and AI R&D ecosystem. As an independent and neutral professional compute infrastructure provider, we are well-prepared to fully leverage Finland’s powerful industrial cluster effect to deliver next-generation data center services that combine high compute density, outstanding carbon reduction performance, and stringent data compliance for diversified clients across the market. Finland is not merely our current engineering focus; it is a critical market supporting 3 E Network’s long-term recurring revenue growth.”

As the construction of Nordic AI infrastructure peaks between 2027 and 2028, 3 E Network will continue to advance its capacity planning and technology deployments in Mikkeli, Finland, to meet the growing and diverse global market demand for high-performance, sustainable AI computing power.
