Technology firm Gorilla Technology Group is set to develop a data center in Thailand.

The Nasdaq-listed company this week announced it has acquired a strategic land site in Korat to develop a planned 200MW AI data center campus.

The 40-acre site is located in Korat (Nakhon Ratchasima), some 260km (162 miles) northeast of Bangkok. Once fully developed, the campus will comprise six data halls – five offering 30MW and one offering 50MW.

Construction is expected to commence in July 2026, with the first phase of the campus targeted for completion by Q1 2027.

Gorilla said the campus will support domestic Thai demand as well as regional demand for compute capacity in Southeast Asia.

Rajesh Natarajan, group CTO of Gorilla Technology, said: “The current planning model is based on 200MW facility load supporting approximately 150MW of net IT load and assuming a target PUE of approximately 1.3. Under an illustrative all-GB300 configuration, using approximately 142kW per rack and 72 GPUs per rack, this would support approximately 76,000 GPUs at full deployment.”

Founded in 2001, UK-based Gorilla describes itself as an AI infrastructure solutions provider, with solutions spanning smart cities, network, video analytics, cybersecurity, and IoT.

“Anyone can talk about AI, but very few can put together the actual physical platform required to run it,” said Jay Chandan, chairman and CEO of Gorilla Technology. “This milestone deserves to be celebrated. We’ve secured the land and utilities needed for large-scale compute and cleared hurdles that many others have not.”

He continued: “Our funding strategy is centered on project-level debt, infrastructure debt, asset-backed financing, potential bond structures, and non-dilutive capital sourced through Gorilla Technology Capital. We are targeting long-duration institutional capital, including pension funds, endowments, superannuation funds, and infrastructure investors that understand the real asset nature of AI compute. We are here to build a serious business using smart capital.”

Gorilla has previously signed deals with India’s Yotta to deploy more than 25,000 GPUs across the country.

Last year also saw Gorilla sign a three-year, $1.4 billion contract to develop a network of AI-powered data centres across Southeast Asia for Singapore-based infrastructure platform Freyr. Full details weren’t shared, but Gorilla said it would utilize local colocation facilities and deploy its proprietary AI stack, including GPU-as-a-Service infrastructure.
