Into Capital, a leading financial institution licensed by the Dubai Financial Services Authority, has announced the launch of a major strategic initiative to develop an integrated platform dedicated to the digital energy infrastructure sector. This ambitious project is being implemented through the “Intocore Infrastructure Fund” with an investment value reaching $500 million, backed directly by a select group of strategic investors. This pioneering platform was specifically designed to develop and expand investments in digital infrastructure reliant on sustainable energy across multiple global markets, supported by a project portfolio exceeding $2.5 billion in total value and featuring a renewable energy production capacity close to 1 gigawatt, opening promising investment horizons in the region.
Radical Transformations in Global Energy Systems
The development of this investment platform comes at a critical juncture as global energy systems undergo structural and radical transformations. Despite the massive quantities of energy currently produced, a significant portion remains underutilized, while energy demand experiences unprecedented acceleration, particularly in developing markets. This complex dynamic creates an urgent necessity to focus on increasing consumption efficiency and converting traditional and renewable energy sources into productive infrastructure capable of meeting future demands, which in turn creates lucrative investment opportunities with rewarding returns.
The platform’s development runs parallel to the explosive growth in global demand for artificial intelligence applications and data infrastructure. This accelerated trend places tremendous pressure on current energy systems and computational capacity networks. Economic estimates indicate that investment volumes directed toward the data center sector could reach approximately $1.1 trillion by 2029. This massive figure reflects the urgent need to develop facilities capable of accommodating this growth, reinforcing the importance of creating integrated solutions that combine power generation with digital network development.
A Strategic Vision for Innovation and Construction
In this context, Haitham Al Masri, CEO of Into Capital, emphasized the strategic importance of this step, noting that it extends beyond mere market participation to reach innovation leadership.
“This step represents a pivotal moment for innovation and construction, not just for participating in the digital infrastructure space. With the demand for computing and energy infrastructure accelerating globally, scalable platforms built on solid foundations will become the pillar defining the next phase of growth. Through this platform, we aim to allocate capital with high efficiency and support the sustainable expansion of energy-backed digital infrastructure.”
The platform enjoys strong support from strategic partners with extensive expertise, spearheaded by Masirah Energy Gateway, a leading entity specialized in the energy infrastructure sector headquartered in the Sultanate of Oman. The company focuses on leading and developing mega-projects and contributes effectively to the platform by providing strategic assets for the fund, which aligns perfectly with the platform’s expansion goals and enhances asset efficiency. In a complementary move, the company signed a memorandum of understanding to execute large-scale renewable energy projects.
Unifying Assets and Technical Capabilities
On his part, Ivo de Zwart, CEO of Masirah Energy Gateway, explained the pivotal role his company plays in this strategic alliance, highlighting their commitment to supporting the digital transformation of energy.
“Our participation through asset contribution reflects our firm commitment to uniting strategic infrastructure assets with scalable investment platforms. This coincides with our cooperation under a memorandum of understanding with relevant authorities to develop energy infrastructure on a large scale. This will enhance our capability to support the integration of power capacities within wider energy and digital infrastructure systems in the region.”
To ensure technical execution adhering to the highest standards, Permian Chain emerges as a key technical partner. Mohammed Al Masri, founder and CEO of the company, pointed out that converging the energy and technology sectors requires high precision and skill.
“The convergence between energy and digital infrastructure requires technical expertise and thoughtful execution. We are pleased to support this platform by providing energy sources, facilitating procurement operations, and offering technical consultancy in asset development, optimization, and long-term operational performance assurance. We are currently developing a network of future contracts, with strong engagement and positive feedback from our clients in computing and energy, reflecting the growing demand for scalable, energy-backed digital infrastructure.”
This platform represents a strategic convergence point between the energy and technology sectors, especially in light of indicators confirming that data centers currently consume approximately 4 percent of total global electricity, a percentage poised to rise significantly over the next few years. Amid an investment gap estimated in the trillions of dollars to meet these needs, this alliance offers practical and sustainable solutions.
To maximize benefits from these opportunities, the “Intocore Infrastructure Fund” was established based on the following pillars:
- Achieving Outstanding Returns: Targeting returns up to 5 times the invested capital over time through risk-managed strategies.
- Sustainability and Growth: Focusing on scalable infrastructure combining stable returns with long-term growth potential.
- Strong Corporate Governance: Operating within a qualified investor fund structure, subject to rigorous oversight by the Dubai Financial Services Authority, enhancing investor confidence.
This strategic step places Into Capital and its partners at the forefront of the global investment landscape, directing the course of development toward establishing infrastructure capable of supporting future technological innovations sustainably and economically, cementing the region’s position as a leading global hub in this vital sector.
