A London-based AI infrastructure platform has merged with Radiant, a newly launched portfolio company of global investment giant Brookfield.

The deal caps off a seven-year journey for Ori Industries, which has been led by founder Mahdi Yahya since inception.

Ori provides telecommunication companies and corporates with the software stack to build, manage and deploy AI cloud.

Ori will be the software and team layer sitting on top of Radiant’s compute and physical data centres, with Yahya now serving as president of Radiant and Ori’s senior team becoming the senior team at the merged firm.

Radiant says it is one of the world’s first infrastructure companies engineered from the ground up to deliver integrated AI compute, with access to scaled capital from Brookfield.

It is the second seed investment from Brookfield’s AI Infrastructure Fund and provides Radiant with a direct pipeline to a $100 billion investment program for AI Infrastructure.
