Under the Strategic Cooperation Agreement, VNET and CATL will establish a partnership to deepen compute-energy integration by synergistically combining VNET's leadership in large‑scale computing infrastructure development and operations with CATL's expertise in zero‑carbon new energy technologies. With the goal of shaping next generation digital energy infrastructure globally, and leveraging green DC and direct green power connection technologies, the parties plan to jointly develop a three‑layer integrated compute-energy ecosystem comprising gigawatt‑scale compute-energy facilities, distributed compute-energy networks, and a zero‑carbon token ecosystem.

"We are delighted to establish this strategic partnership with CATL," said Mr. Josh Sheng Chen, Founder, Executive Chairperson of VNET. "By combining our complementary strengths and deepening cooperation across technology, infrastructure and supply chains, we will jointly advance innovation in integrated compute-energy systems. Together, we aim to contribute to the next generation of digital energy infrastructure in the intelligent era."
