We have had the pleasure of supporting the Aker group in a transaction where Aker invests another USD 350 million in cash into Nscale -  a global hyperscaler engineered for enterprise-grade AI infrastructure - and rolls up its 50% stake in the parties' Narvik data centre JV.

Wikborg Rein has advised DWS Group on the acquisition of key Norwegian travel infrastructure assets, including Fjellheisen in Tromsø, Romsdalsgondolen, the Golden Train in Åndalsnes, and the Arctic Train in Narvik.
