Micrologic raises $45M for sovereign cloud services

Québec-based sovereign cloud provider Micrologic raised $45 million in funding. The company plans to use the capital to expand its cloud services across Canada.

Why it matters

Demand for localized infrastructure is driving capital into regional providers capable of meeting strict data sovereignty standards. Micrologic's expansion across Canada positions it to capture government and enterprise workloads reluctant to rely solely on global hyperscalers.

What to watch

Whether regional sovereign cloud operators can maintain margin advantages as public hyperscalers expand local availability zones.
