A rigorous lifecycle that separates website claims from engineering reality — from feasibility studies and site selection through construction and commissioning to live operations. Each phase has defined deliverables, decision gates and public reporting obligations.
NOVACORE AI is developing AI-ready digital infrastructure for Romania and Southeast Europe. This is a long-term programme that follows a disciplined, phased approach modelled on established data-centre development practice. The programme moves through nine phases — from initial feasibility studies through site selection, concept design, commercial validation, financing, detailed design and permitting, construction, commissioning and finally live operations. Each phase has explicit deliverables and decision gates. No phase proceeds without validated assumptions from the previous phase. This methodology is designed to protect capital, build stakeholder confidence and ensure that what is announced publicly matches what exists physically. The programme is currently in Phase A (feasibility studies) and Phase B (site selection), with partnership discussions underway across utilities, technology providers, construction partners and public institutions.
Market demand assessment, capacity sizing, site options analysis, power availability and grid capacity study, fibre route survey, cooling technology evaluation, total cost of ownership modelling and preliminary financing structure assessment. This phase establishes whether a project is viable before any significant capital is committed.
Land title verification, zoning compliance check, flood and seismic risk assessment, accessibility analysis, security perimeter definition, proximity to power substations, proximity to fibre routes, expansion area evaluation, environmental restriction mapping and community impact assessment. Multiple candidate sites are evaluated against weighted criteria before a preferred site is selected.
IT load specification, rack density definition, data hall layout and sizing, power distribution architecture, cooling system design, network and security zone topology, building services specification, redundancy tier selection and preliminary capital cost estimate. The concept design provides sufficient detail to begin commercial discussions with anchor customers and financing partners.
Letters of intent from anchor customers, capacity reservations with commercial terms, utility connection agreements, fibre provider commitments, technology partner agreements and preliminary operating cost validation. This phase de-risks the project by securing revenue commitments before construction capital is fully deployed.
Equity capital raising, bank debt negotiation, equipment financing and leasing structures, strategic investor engagement, public programme applications, customer pre-commitment financing and vendor financing terms. The financing phase closes only when all required capital is committed and conditions precedent are satisfied.
Engagement of accredited experts for architecture, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, fire safety, physical security and environmental compliance. Detailed design documentation, building permit applications, grid connection approval, environmental impact assessment and construction tender preparation.
Project management, cost control, schedule management, quality assurance, health and safety compliance, subcontractor coordination and commissioning preparation. Construction follows a phased approach — shell and core first, then fit-out in increments that align with validated demand to avoid building empty capacity.
Integrated systems testing including utility failure simulation, generator start and load transfer, UPS autonomy testing, cooling system performance verification, fire detection and suppression testing, network failover validation and full-load stress testing. Every system is tested to failure and recovery before customer equipment is installed.
Network operations centre activation, security operations centre activation, preventive maintenance scheduling, capacity planning and forecasting, business continuity plan activation, customer onboarding and support, and continuous improvement programme. Operations begin on day one of live service and continue throughout the facility lifecycle.
The programme is in Phase A (feasibility) and Phase B (site selection). Partnership discussions are underway with utilities, technology providers, construction partners and public institutions. Nothing is announced publicly until it is documented, validated and confirmed. This disciplined approach ensures that published claims about capacity, timeline and specifications are backed by engineering evidence, not marketing aspiration.
