The massive development of data centers is one of the most strategic investments of the decade.



Amid the explosion of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, sovereign data-storage needs, and digital transformation, these infrastructures are becoming the energy and digital backbone of the European economy.



But behind every secure building and every megawatt of power lies a major challenge: financing.
This is where PrestaFlex comes in—as a specialized financial intermediary able to structure and secure tailor-made financing solutions for stakeholders across the sector.







1. Data Centers: A Strategic and Complex Asset



Data centers require colossal investments:




Construction (land, technical buildings, electrical infrastructure)



Technology (servers, networks, cooling, security)



Energy (access to high-voltage grids, integrated renewable projects)



Maintenance and connectivity (O&M contracts, fiber links, cloud services)




Each phase—design, construction, commissioning, operation—demands a distinct financial approach.
Financing a data center goes far beyond a simple loan: it blends project finance, senior debt, mezzanine, equity, technology leasing, and energy financing.







2. The European and Swiss Context



Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, France, and the Nordic countries host the majority of European projects. These regions offer:




Political and regulatory stability



Reliable energy infrastructure



A favorable framework for foreign and institutional investment




However, pressure on electricity consumption and ESG (environmental, social, governance) standards imposes new constraints: energy efficiency, heat recycling, and carbon neutrality.
Investors therefore seek smart, sustainable solutions combining financing, energy, and technology.







3. Financing Solutions with PrestaFlex



PrestaFlex offers end-to-end support for any data center project—in Switzerland or across Europe—acting as an independent broker and financing arranger.



Our solutions include:




Project Finance for new sites or expansions



Senior and subordinated (mezzanine) debt to optimize capital structure



Energy financing tied to power supply and cooling infrastructure



Technology leasing for servers, racks, cooling systems, or security



Refinancing of existing assets or portfolios of operational data centers



Private equity and co-investments for partners seeking greater exposure to digital infrastructure




PrestaFlex works with a broad network of banks, institutional funds, family offices, and private investors to tailor the solution to the project profile—whether you are a cloud operator, energy provider, real-estate investor, or industrial group.







4. Why Trust PrestaFlex?



Because financing a data center requires far more than a simple loan.
It requires understanding technology, regulation, energy, and the business model.



PrestaFlex provides:




Multi-sector expertise (real estate, IT, energy, finance)



A strategic view of the data center value chain



Mastery of complex structures: debt, equity, leasing, grants, public-private partnerships



A European network of financial partners specialized in digital infrastructure



An approach aligned with Swiss standards: transparency, CDB 20 compliance, and enhanced due diligence








5. Toward a Digital and Sustainable Future



The data center of tomorrow will be greener, more connected, and more integrated with its energy environment.
PrestaFlex supports this transformation by structuring financings that combine performance, sustainability, and innovation.



Whether you are an operator, developer, investor, or technology provider, PrestaFlex is your trusted partner to take your projects to the next level.
