In October 2026, Omnes Capital announced a strategic investment in the newly launched Heim Datacenter via its CEP2 fund. This funding supports Heim as it develops a European data center platform starting with key projects across the Nordics.
Why it matters
The partnership provides the necessary financial backing to scale Heim's team and organizational structure for large-scale infrastructure projects. This expansion aims to bolster data hosting capacity in response to growing digital infrastructure demand.
Heim plans to develop the Sweden West site to 300MW and the Finland West campus to 130MW. The Finland Capital project is designed to reach a 150MW capacity, encompassing hundreds of thousands of square meters in total planned land area.

The Tech Race
This move mirrors the broader European Digital Infrastructure deployment trend as firms rush to secure capacity in energy-rich Nordic regions. By backing a new entrant, Omnes Capital is positioning its portfolio to compete directly against established legacy providers in the data hosting market.
