The USD$100 billion Global Edge Fund named Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) as its exclusive artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure partner.
The company announced the expansion milestone on Friday and received a 28 per cent stock bump as a result.
The Brazil Invest-Abu Dhabi Investment Fund leads the Global Edge Fund, a large-scale initiative focused on digital transformation, cybersecurity, and AI-driven infrastructure. It has allocated USD$20 billion for digital advancements in the United States and USD$80 billion for projects in South America, including Brazil.
This deal will generate short-term financial gains for the company while positioning Gorilla as a key player in the AI-powered digital emergence, strengthening its long-term growth strategy. The company also increased its 2025 revenue guidance from USD$90-$100 million to USD$100-$110 million.
As part of the partnership, the fund appointed Gorilla CEO Jay Chandan to its board of directors. Additionally, the appointment fostered close collaboration between technology development and investment execution. It also designated USD$20 billion from its infrastructure investments to support digital transformation using Gorilla’s solutions.
This could significantly increase GRRR’s revenue streams in the coming years. Investors may view this as a sign of long-term stability and expansion. Furthermore, it reinforces the company’s efforts to dispel ‘unnecessary confusion’ caused by a recent report.

Software stocks outperforming the sector
Gorilla Technology’s rise today also fits into a larger narrative of strength in the software and AI sectors. Recent financial analyses noted software stocks have been outperforming the broader market. This is primarily driven by increasing adoption of AI technologies across industries.
The company, with its focus on cybersecurity, video analytics, and IoT solutions, is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend.
Gorilla’s recent milestones—such as closing its At-The-Market (ATM) program in February to protect shareholder value and securing contracts like the $1.8 billion energy digitization deal in Thailand—have bolstered its reputation as a serious player in the AI space.
However, beyond this deal, two additional investment funds are in progress: a $20 billion EMEA-focused fund to support digitization across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and a Southeast Asia-focused fund ranging from $50 billion to $100 billion, with $20-$40 billion allocated for Thailand’s national infrastructure projects.
These initiatives will likely open doors to new markets across these regions and secure more contracts for Gorilla.
“We are not just building technology—we are shaping the future of global digital infrastructure,” said Jay Chandan, Chairman & CEO of Gorilla Technology.
“Our strategic partnership with Global Edge places us at the heart of some of the most ambitious investment programmes worldwide, ensuring that AI and cybersecurity remain fundamental to economic growth and security.”
Gorilla’s involvement in these projects underscores the growing demand for AI-powered solutions in smart cities, cybersecurity, and critical infrastructure. As a result, the company is poised to lead the next phase of global digital transformation.
Shares of Gorilla Technology have gained 317.5 per cent in the past year, outperforming the industry’s 43.2 per cent increase.
