KONST raises $30 million to expand AI data-center capacity in Asia

KONST, a Taiwan-based AI compute operator, says it has raised $30 million in Series B funding, with ADATA Technology leading the round. Strategic participants include M Mobility, Pegatron Venture Capital and other corporate investors. The investors represent areas including memory and storage, electrification, electronics manufacturing, energy, semiconductors and thermal management. KONST announced the financing in Taipei on Oct. 9, 2026.

The company says it will use the proceeds to expand its AI data-center buildout across Asia and advance its Token Factory strategy. It describes the strategy as a three-layer system for serving large enterprises: compute supply, cloud delivery and AI governance. The company says enterprise demand is moving from team-level trials toward routine use across departments, with computing needs shifting toward ongoing consumption. It also points to changing usage patterns and higher workload requirements as reasons infrastructure is increasingly important.

At the foundation, Konstra AI handles projects from site selection and facility construction through GPU cluster tuning, acceptance and ongoing operations. In the middle layer, Glows.ai divides cluster capacity into smaller units that enterprises can access with per-second billing, paying for what they use. Horizon AI’s (k) ATP Token provides the governance and delivery layer, including controls over who can use compute, how much they can use and how charges are applied. For AI builders, the announcement links expanded infrastructure capacity with a service model for metering and governing enterprise use.

KONST says (k) ATP Token lets enterprises connect to authorized models using a project key, rather than setting up separate contracts and integrations with each vendor. Its four-tier structure runs from organization to workspace, project and key, with quotas allocated through the hierarchy and model access set at the project level. The platform records each request’s model and usage in audit logs, and the company says larger customers can have models under one contract and invoice.

KONST says Horizon AI focuses on large organizations whose adoption efforts can involve multiple departments, existing systems and longer-term governance needs. The company reports completed deployments for several enterprises and institutions, alongside needs assessments with large customers in multiple industries. It says it is expanding its team as its business grows. The funding announcement therefore combines a capacity expansion plan with a stated focus on enterprise deployment and usage oversight.
