Gorilla Technology Moves Yotta AI Infrastructure Programme into Physical Execution


London, United Kingdom and Chennai, India – Newsfile Corp. – September 8, 2026 – Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) (“Gorilla” or the “Company”), a global solution provider in Security Intelligence, Network Intelligence, Business Intelligence, IoT technology and data centres, today announced that equipment deliveries are under way, for its Yotta AI infrastructure programme in India, marking the transition from signed contracts and capital deployment into physical execution.

Gorilla believes this execution milestone reinforces management’s previously stated ambition of approximately US$500 million in revenue in 2027, as the Company commences the phased delivery and deployment of AI infrastructure exceeding 25,000 GPUs. As these contracted programmes transition into operational deployment and revenue generation, Gorilla is exploring additional expansion opportunities that could potentially double its GPU footprint, underscoring strong customer demand for large-scale AI infrastructure across key markets.

Gorilla’s Yotta programmes represent a cornerstone of its AI infrastructure expansion in India. The Company is now progressing through equipment delivery, installation, integration, networking and operational readiness as it moves capacity towards commissioning and commercial service.

The significance of this milestone is straightforward. Gorilla is no longer simply signing AI infrastructure contracts. It is now buying, delivering and deploying the physical infrastructure required, to generate the revenue behind them.

“This is the inflection point we have been working towards,” said Jay Chandan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Gorilla Technology. “We have signed the contracts. We have raised the capital. We have made an investment. And now, the infrastructure is becoming real.”

India is rapidly becoming much bigger than the programme we originally contemplated,” Chandan continued. “We are already moving from contracts into physical execution and at the same time we are seeing additional requirements that could represent up to 30,000 GPUs. That gives us confidence not only in the scale of the opportunity in front of us but in the durability of the growth we expect beyond the current deployment.”

Dr. Rajesh Natarajan Group CTO said: “Our objective is no longer simply to deliver one major programme in India. We intend to build a substantial long-term AI infrastructure platform in the country. The demand we are now seeing gives us a clear pathway to expand well beyond the capacity already under execution.”

Mr. Natarajan concluded: “Our job from here is simple: deploy faster, commission capacity and turn contracted demand into revenue. We are moving from announcements to assets, from assets to capacity and from capacity to cash flow.”

YYForce’s automated facade-cleaning robotics solution.

Facade maintenance in Singapore has traditionally relied on rope access and suspended gondolas, a labor-intensive, weather-dependent method that carries inherent work-at-height risk. Facadevision AI plans to deploy an enterprise-grade drone system for exterior cleaning and inspection, paired with AI-assisted image analysis to detect defects such as cracking, spalling, sealant failure, and water ingress across building envelopes. The approach is designed to reduce the number of personnel working at height, shorten project turnaround times, and give building owners a documented, data-backed record of facade condition to support periodic inspection requirements and seamlessly integrate with broader building management and compliance systems.

“We believe facade work is one of the last areas of the IFM industry still done largely the way it was done thirty years ago,” said Mike Fu, CEO of YYForce. “Replacing ropes and gondolas with drones and AI will take skilled workers out of harm’s way and put them behind better tools. We’re excited to bring our clients the safer, smarter option they’ve been asking for, and expect to build Facadevision AI into a high-margin growth driver for our IFM business.”

Facadevision AI will initially serve commercial buildings in Singapore, with commercial deployment slated to commence in Q3 2026, and the intention of extending into industrial and residential properties as the operation matures. The venture is expected to complement YYForce’s existing IFM capabilities and open access to inspection and technical assessment work adjacent to YYForce’s current service offerings.

2026 World Power Battery Conference Held in Yibin, China


YIBIN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 September 2026 – The 2026 World Power Battery Conference opened on September 3 in Yibin, Sichuan Province, China. Focusing on industry policies, cutting-edge technologies, innovative applications, new energy storage technologies, and battery recycling, the conference features a series of thematic sessions. These sessions are designed to deepen cross-border industrial collaboration through high-level international exchanges, and to continuously advance international cooperation and pragmatic collaboration in the power battery sector.

According to data released at the conference, China’s indigenously developed technologies have contributed to the development of the power battery industry. The driving range of lithium-powered batteries has extended from around 100 kilometers in the early days to as much as 1,000 kilometers today. Charging time has been cut from hours to around 10 minutes. Battery durability has jumped from approximately 300 charge cycles to as many as 1,500 cycles for energy storage batteries, and costs have fallen by 90%.

At the opening ceremony, eight innovative power battery technologies for the 2025–2026 period were unveiled, including power batteries that support ultra-fast charging in around 10 minutes, hybrid solid-liquid batteries with a specific energy of 350 Wh/kg, and large-capacity, high-safety energy storage batteries with capacities ranging from 300 Ah to 600 Ah. These breakthroughs are expected to provide further impetus for innovation across the industry.

Ouyang Minggao, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, pointed out three major development trends for the power battery industry. The first is battery safety across the entire lifecycle. China’s mandatory national standard, Electric Vehicles Traction Battery Safety Requirements, officially took effect on July 1. Under the standard, batteries must not catch fire or explode; the gases they release must not harm vehicle occupants; and after 300 fast-charging cycles, they must still pass external short-circuit tests without igniting or exploding. The second is AI empowerment across the whole chain. The application of AI to intelligent battery design, manufacturing, and management will reshape the battery industry across the entire technology, industrial, and value chains. The third is green and low-carbon development throughout the full lifecycle.

At the conference, Wang He, founder and CTO of GALBOT, shared the company’s exploration of embodied intelligent robots. One of its latest products, which breaks through the workload limits of humanoid robots, was developed through deep integration with the power battery industry and has already been commercialized on a large scale at companies including CATL. Wang believes that leading players in the sector are likely to reach the “ChatGPT moment” for embodied intelligence by 2028. This, he said, would usher in a steep growth curve for the humanoid robotics industry, with the explosive growth of humanoid robots opening up a new horizon for the power battery sector.

Spain served as the Guest Country of Honor at this year’s conference. Betanzos, the Spanish Ambassador to China, said that Chinese investment in Spain is shifting its focus from trade toward long-term industrial projects, bringing production to Spain, creating high-quality jobs, and establishing alliances with local Spanish companies.

The World Power Battery Conference was launched in Yibin, Sichuan Province, in 2022, and this year marks the fifth year that the city has hosted the event.
