The current power generation has become a core bottleneck in data center development, and the surge in demand for AI and cloud computing has intensified this competition. The two financing rounds were participated by multiple institutions such as French Foreign Trade Bank, BNP Paribas, and IFM Investors, providing capital ammunition for Yondr's continued expansion.
