GI Partners, a private investment firm, has acquired Digita Group, a prominent Nordic digital infrastructure provider that includes Finnish company Digita Oy, for an undisclosed amount. This transaction marks a significant change in ownership for Digita, known for its critical broadcasting and network services across Finland.
Digita Oy is central to Finnish media and digital communications, reliably transmitting radio and television programmes nationwide daily.

Digita's client base includes major media houses and mobile and broadband operators.
The acquisition is strategically aligned with GI Partners' focus on investing in high-quality, critical infrastructure assets that underpin digital transformation. For GI Partners, gaining ownership of Digita’s extensive mast portfolio in Finland and Iceland, alongside its robust digital service offerings, represents an opportunity to capitalize on the growing demand for connectivity and data services. Expected synergies include leveraging Digita’s established network and infrastructure for further expansion into emerging digital sectors and enhancing its existing service capabilities for media and telecommunications clients.
Under GI Partners’ ownership, Digita is expected to continue its role as a vital enabler of Finland's digital ecosystem. The combined entity is positioned to pursue growth opportunities, further developing its broadcasting, IoT, and data center services while exploring new avenues for digital infrastructure innovation in the Nordic region.
