EdgeMode CEO Charlie Faulkner has provided a strategic update highlighting the company's accelerated growth trajectory and expanding multi-gigawatt AI infrastructure opportunity in Europe. The update follows the completion of EdgeMode's definitive agreement with BlackBerry AIF in January 2026, which has catalyzed development activities across the company's Spanish pipeline.
In a video message to shareholders and stakeholders, Faulkner noted that EdgeMode is significantly ahead of its original expectations just 60 days after finalizing the BlackBerry AIF partnership. The company has advanced multiple projects within its Spanish development pipeline, which is designed to support rapidly increasing demand for AI and high-performance computing infrastructure across Europe. EdgeMode's platform focuses on developing large-scale, power-secured data center sites capable of supporting next-generation AI compute workloads.
The company's development strategy centers on bringing data center sites to Ready-to-Build status by securing land control, scalable power infrastructure, fiber connectivity, and key permits before transferring projects to infrastructure investors and operators responsible for construction and long-term operation. This approach has gained traction with technology partners, infrastructure investors, and potential customers seeking large-scale AI infrastructure capacity in Europe.
Faulkner highlighted strong collaboration and support from municipal governments and local authorities in Spain as a positive factor for project advancement and long-term success. "We have also been very encouraged by the strong level of support and collaboration we are receiving from municipal governments in Spain, which has been extremely positive for the development of our projects," Faulkner stated in his update.
EdgeMode has adjusted its internal expectations to reflect the growing demand pipeline and increased awareness of the company's development platform among potential partners and customers. The company is experiencing expanding strategic engagement with various stakeholders in the AI infrastructure ecosystem, indicating robust market demand for European-based AI computing capacity.
Near-term priorities for EdgeMode include advancing development milestones across its Spanish portfolio, strengthening strategic partnerships, and continuing to expand the company's pipeline of opportunities aligned with rapid global growth of AI infrastructure demand. The company expects to provide further updates as development milestones are achieved and commercial partnerships advance.
