Vinge advises EQT Infrastructure and its portfolio company GlobalConnect on the SEK 3 billion acquisition of Telenor’s Open Universe platform and SDU fiber infrastructure.

GlobalConnect will continue to build on Open Universe’s robust platform and business model, keeping the brand name and operating model intact and is committed to maintain a strong collaboration with municipalities, property owners and city networks.

The transaction is subject to customary regulatory conditions and is expected to be completed in Q1 2022.
