Vauban Infrastructure Partners has announced Vauban Infra Fibre, France’s largest independent digital infrastructure platform, has taken a strategic step toward the proposed acquisition of Towerlink France from Cellnex France.
Founded in 2018, Towerlink is the owner, operator and developer of urban edge data centers. The company has a presence across multiple sites in France, many of which are already operational with nationwide urban footprints located close to end customers. Through the development of high-quality technical sites located in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities in France, this strategic portfolio aims to accelerate the digital transformation of the territories.
Vauban said the proposed acquisition would further strengthen VIF’s position in the French market and diversify its base of digital infrastructure. VIF would also strengthen its partnership with Bouygues Telecom, Towerlink’s main client and one the leading telecommunications operators in France. Fina
