Hong Kong-listed technology company 3 E Network Technology Group Limited has announced that its Finnish project entity, Aurora Core Technology Oy, has entered the substantive implementation and execution phase of a planned European AI data center, transitioning from feasibility planning into localized construction preparation and active procurement activity.

Subsidiary Takes on Localized Execution Mandate

Aurora Core Technology Oy, a wholly-owned strategic subsidiary of 3 E Network, has formally assumed the localized deployment mandate for the company's newly established high-capacity green energy architecture in the Nordic region.

By assigning the Finnish entity responsibility for local implementation, 3 E Network says it has established a clear framework for compliance management and capital allocation, which it describes as a foundation for potential regional expansion.

The subsidiary is currently managing progress across six operational pillars that span supply chain procurement, grid interconnection, environmental assessment, waste heat monetization, construction partnerships, and regulatory compliance under European data sovereignty standards.

Dr. Tingjun Yang, Chief Executive Officer of 3 E Network, stated that using a local subsidiary to manage procurement and contract negotiations directly is a standard and necessary approach for cross-border data center projects. "With our infrastructure blueprint for next-generation AI computing now established, Aurora Core Technology Oy is taking responsibility for local project implementation as we move into the next phase of our European deployment," he said.

Hardware Procurement Targets High-Density Computing Platforms

Aurora Core Technology Oy has issued formal Requests for Proposals for critical hardware designed to support next-generation high-density computing platforms, including the NVIDIA Vera Rubin architecture.

The initial procurement focus covers high-capacity Liquid-to-Liquid Cooling Distribution Units, high-efficiency modular Uninterruptible Power Supply systems, and high-ampacity intelligent busways. The company says these RFPs build on preliminary vendor evaluations and finalized liquid-cooling parameters established during the feasibility phase.

Grid Interconnection Negotiations Underway

The Aurora execution team is advancing from initial power capability studies into negotiations toward binding interconnection and capacity allocation agreements with a regional utility provider.

The negotiations currently focus on integrating multi-megawatt grid connections, engineering schedules for concurrently maintainable dual-redundant power feeds, and evaluating local power distribution and step-down efficiencies. The company did not name the specific utility provider involved in the discussions.

Environmental Impact Assessment Filings Progress

Aurora Core Technology Oy is working alongside regional regulators and environmental consultants to translate baseline environmental studies into formal Environmental Impact Assessment filings.

The key evaluation metrics being addressed include liquid-cooling water recycling rates, acoustic management for cooling towers, and lifecycle carbon footprints. The company states that the filings are aimed at supporting the facility's alignment with Scope 3 emissions standards required by enterprise clients.

Waste Heat Program Opens Municipal Discussions

The Finnish subsidiary has commenced commercial discussions with municipal heating providers as part of a planned waste heat monetization program. The initiative aims to capture high-grade waste heat generated by the AI data center's liquid-cooling loops and route it into the local district heating grid.

According to the company, this structure is intended to reduce the facility's carbon footprint while also evaluating potential revenue-sharing mechanisms with municipal partners. The company did not identify the specific municipal heating provider or providers involved.

Local Engineering and Construction Partnerships Being Formalized

To implement the infrastructure plan, 3 E Network says it is coordinating with Nordic architectural firms, structural engineers, and Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing contractors.

The priorities at this stage include defining load-bearing structural specifications for fully populated AI racks and establishing construction schedules suited to Finland's winter climate conditions.

EU Regulatory Compliance Framework Under Development

Aurora Core Technology Oy is developing its infrastructure and compliance framework to align with a suite of European standards and regulations. These include the EU's General Data Protection Regulation, the EU AI Act, and EN 50600 data center standards.

The company has also confirmed that planning has begun for the procurement and installation of biometric mantraps and physical perimeter security topologies as part of the facility's physical security design.

Capital Allocation Funds Front-End Engineering Activities

The implementation activities being carried out by Aurora Core Technology Oy are supported by capital from a $1.0 million private placement, subscribed by a CEO-affiliated entity, the net proceeds of which are being directed toward Front-End Engineering Design activities through the local subsidiary.

The capital is allocated across several workstreams. For site preparation, funding is directed toward comprehensive geotechnical site surveys to verify ground-bearing capacity required for high-density racks.

Climate modeling teams are also being funded to analyze a decade of local microclimate meteorological data against the thermodynamic requirements of the facility's liquid-cooling systems, with the goal of establishing free-cooling operating parameters designed to optimize Power Usage Effectiveness.

On the regulatory and permitting side, the capital is supporting the preparation of EIA technical documentation, covering requirements such as acoustic emission modeling and water recycling verification.

Additionally, the Finnish operational group has retained electrical engineering experts to conduct power flow analysis and short-circuit studies in coordination with the utility provider.

3 E Network, which trades on Nasdaq under the ticker MASK and is headquartered in Hong Kong, describes itself as a business-to-business IT solutions provider committed to becoming a next-generation AI infrastructure solutions provider.
