FingerMotion and Genius Group have signed a binding joint venture agreement to develop up to 100 MW of data center capacity in Alberta, Canada, with the first 9.9 MW campus expected to be powered by early 2027 and potentially generating $20-25 million in annual revenue.
FingerMotion and Genius Group Launch 100 MW Data Center Joint Venture in Alberta

FingerMotion (NASDAQ: FNGR), together with Genius Group Limited (NYSE American: GNS) and BlueFlare Energy Solutions Inc., has announced a second binding agreement to establish a joint venture for the Brooks Corridor Campus Program, covering up to 100 megawatts (MW) of powered land and colocation campuses in Alberta, Canada. The deal marks a significant expansion of the partners' AI infrastructure ambitions in the region and could reshape the local data center landscape.

The agreement includes the first planned site, Brooks Campus No. 1, a permitted 9.9 MW facility in the County of Newell, with powered land expected to become available in the first quarter of 2027. Each campus will be owned 75% by FingerMotion and 25% by Genius Group, while BlueFlare will be responsible for development, construction, and operations. The arrangement follows the partners' October announcement of GENIUSpark Alberta and its initial artificial intelligence (AI) compute site in Hanna.

BlueFlare has also entered into a nonbinding expression of interest for up to 7 MW of high-performance computing colocation capacity at Brooks Campus No. 1. If fully operational under the contemplated arrangement, that capacity is estimated to generate $20 million to $25 million in annual revenue, potentially exceeding $100 million over an initial five-year term. Such figures underscore the scale of the opportunity and the potential impact on FingerMotion's revenue profile, which has historically centered on mobile payment and recharge platform solutions in China.

Closing of the first campus remains subject to client contracts, financing, due diligence, and regulatory approvals. Investors can view the full press release at https://ibn.fm/g6tFH, and the latest news and updates relating to FNGR are available in the company’s newsroom at https://ibn.fm/FNGR.

The announcement was distributed through ChineseWire, a specialized communications platform focused on promising China-based companies listed in North America. ChineseWire is one of 75+ brands within the Dynamic Brand Portfolio at IBN, which provides wire solutions via InvestorWire and other services. The platform also offers editorial syndication to 5,000+ outlets and social media distribution to millions of followers.

For readers and industry observers, the joint venture signals a notable pivot for FingerMotion beyond its core Chinese market. While the company’s vision remains to serve over 1 billion users in China and expand its mobile ecosystem, the Alberta data center program represents a tangible step into the high-demand AI and high-performance computing infrastructure space. If the Brooks Campus No. 1 reaches full operation, the projected $20 million to $25 million in annual revenue could meaningfully diversify FingerMotion’s income streams and bolster its position in the fast-growing colocation market. However, the conditional nature of the closing—dependent on client contracts, financing, and regulatory approvals—means the timeline and ultimate success remain uncertain. Stakeholders will be watching closely for updates on financing and tenant commitments, which will determine whether the venture delivers on its early promise.
