Qué sucedió: Telecom Egypt aprueba participación de Helios en centro de datos

Telecom Egypt ha otorgado la aprobación inicial para que Helios Investment Partners adquiera una participación mayoritaria de entre el 75 % y el 80 % en su subsidiaria, Regional Data Hub (RDH). El acuerdo valora la unidad de centro de datos con sede en El Cairo en USD 230 millones, con posibilidad de aumentar a USD 260 millones si se cumplen los hitos de rendimiento. Como parte de la reestructuración, los activos de RDH se transferirán a una nueva entidad corporativa, dejando a Telecom Egypt con una participación minoritaria del 20 al 25 %.

La junta también ha autorizado la firma de los pliegos de condiciones y ha nombrado a un asesor financiero independiente, registrado ante la Autoridad Reguladora Financiera de Egipto, para que realice una valoración justa. EFG Hermes actúa como único asesor financiero, mientras que ADSERO-Ragy Soliman & Partners y A&O Shearman son los asesores legales. El cierre definitivo aún está sujeto a las aprobaciones regulatorias, la reestructuración corporativa y el cumplimiento de las normas de cotización.

El acuerdo llega en un momento decisivo para la infraestructura digital de Egipto, tras el incendio del Ramses Central Exchange a principios de este año, que interrumpió las transacciones financieras y expuso las debilidades de la red. Al asociarse con Helios —una firma de capital privado con sede en Londres y un historial de inversiones en infraestructura digital en toda África—, Telecom Egypt obtiene tanto financiación como experiencia operativa para expandir RDH y convertirlo en un centro de datos más resiliente y de importancia regional. La asociación refleja una creciente confianza de los inversores en el sector tecnológico de Egipto y podría fortalecer el papel de El Cairo como puerta de enlace de conectividad entre África, Oriente Medio y Europa. Aunque el acuerdo aún requiere varios pasos procedimentales, la transacción demuestra una estrategia constructiva: Telecom Egypt obtiene acceso a capital privado mientras conserva influencia a través de su participación minoritaria, y Helios adquiere un punto de apoyo estratégico en un mercado de alto crecimiento.
