A Prefeitura do Rio de Janeiro anunciou um investimento de US$ 550 milhões para o projeto Rio AI City, que visa transformar a capital fluminense em um polo global de inteligência artificial até 2032. O complexo de data centers prevê alta demanda energética e a geração de mais de 10 mil empregos qualificados.
I Squared Capital, a $55-billion infrastructure-focused asset manager, is exploring an exit from Polaris Smart Metering Pte, with the company valued at around $200 million. The US-based fund invested $150 million in February 2023 for a controlling majority stake through its ISQ Growth Markets Infrastructure Fund. Singapore-headquartered Polaris operates in India via Gomati Smart Metering and has secured contracts to install 5.1 million smart meters in Uttar Pradesh's Lucknow and Ayodhya clusters, and 2.2 million in West Bengal. The company recently raised ₹710 crore in financing from British International Investment.
