Brookfield-Backed Radiant Acquires Ori Industries to Accelerate Global AI Infrastructure

London-based AI infrastructure platform Ori Industries has merged with Radiant, a newly launched portfolio company of global investment giant Brookfield, in a strategic move set to reshape the global AI infrastructure landscape.

The transaction marks the culmination of a seven-year journey for Ori Industries, led by founder Mahdi Yahya since its inception. The company has been providing telecommunications operators and corporates with a comprehensive software stack to build, manage, and deploy AI cloud environments.

Under the merger, Ori will serve as the software and operational layer on top of Radiant’s compute capabilities and physical data centres. Mahdi Yahya will assume the role of President of Radiant, while Ori’s senior leadership team transitions into senior roles within the combined organization.

Radiant positions itself among the first infrastructure companies engineered from the ground up to deliver fully integrated AI compute, backed by access to scaled capital from Brookfield. The deal represents the second seed investment from Brookfield’s AI Infrastructure Fund and grants Radiant a direct pipeline into a $100 billion AI Infrastructure investment program.

Mahdi Yahya stated:

“We could not be more excited to continue the Ori journey through Radiant,”

“For more than seven years, our team has been building toward this moment – designing software that could enable infrastructure for AI at scale.

“It was immediately apparent that Brookfield was the ideal partner for Ori. Through Radiant we can challenge the supply-demand imbalance that has defined AI since the release of advanced LLMs in 2023.

“With deep, structural advantages in capital costs, powered land, compute, and software, Radiant is building the infrastructure to enable a global age of abundance for AI.”
