Gorilla Signs $1.4 Billion Contract with Freyr Singapore to Build Southeast Asia's AI Data Centre Backbone
Gorilla to Lead AI Infrastructure, GPU Deployment and Multi-Year SLA Operations
London, United Kingdom - (Newsfile Corp.
- September 17, 2025) - Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) ("Gorilla" or the "Company"), a global solution provider in Security Intelligence, Network Intelligence, Business Intelligence and IoT technology, and Singapore-based infrastructure platform Freyr have together signed a three-year, $1.4 billion contract to develop a network of AI-powered data centres across Southeast Asia. Execution will begin with a $300 million initial phase that will launch in Q4 2025. Gorilla and Freyr will serve multiple entities in developing infrastructure in the region.
The multi-year contract positions Gorilla as the lead provider of AI infrastructure, service-level operations and end-to-end data centre intelligence across three regional markets: Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.
While Gorilla will serve as principal operator and infrastructure lead, Freyr will be its regional expansion partner. Gorilla will utilise local co-location facilities and deploy its proprietary AI stack, including GPU-as-a-Service infrastructure, orchestration software and real-time monitoring systems, while managing performance and uptime SLAs over an initial three-year term, with optional 2-year extensions.
"Gorilla has a uniquely strong understanding of this region and therefore the right vantage point to develop this critical network of data centres," said Jay Chandan, Chairman & CEO, Gorilla Technology Group Inc. "We have been building in AI for more than 17 years, and we understand this region better than most. To have secured a customer of this calibre, a multi-billion-dollar telco with unmatched scale and reputation, is a powerful validation of Gorilla's capability. Being trusted by such an institution from the outset speaks volumes about the strength of our platform and execution model. Together with Freyr, we are deploying at scale, not talking about it. Phase One alone is $300 million and it is only the start of a much larger expansion."
"This partnership is based on a simple and collective belief that Southeast Asia deserves sovereign, intelligent, high-performance infrastructure," said Cary Liu, CEO of Freyr. "This is not just a $1.4 billion contract; it is the beginning of a broader expansion strategy. Together, Freyr and Gorilla are already targeting new data centre opportunities worth at least $2.5 billion over the next couple of years. The Southeast Asian data centre market is expected to exceed $12 to 15 billion and this alliance positions us right at the centre of that growth. With Gorilla's AI leadership and our regional execution platform, we are not just keeping pace with demand, we are shaping it."
"Having spent decades building infrastructure strategies across global markets, I can say with confidence that this contract sets a new benchmark for how AI infrastructure should be executed," said Thomas Sennhauser, Board Member Gorilla Technology Group Inc. "Gorilla's advantage is clear: deep local understanding, operational speed and serious technical muscle. This is what happens when experience meets urgency. The shift from hyperscale to regionally intelligent infrastructure has begun, and Gorilla is leading that transition."
Gorilla and Freyr will now finalise detailed Statements of Work (SOWs), Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and GPU infrastructure deployment schedules. Site selection and systems integration for the initial phase are already underway, with AI services expected to go live in early 2026.
