Overview
Firmus Grid Limited (trading as Firmus Technologies) designs and operates AI Factories — vertically integrated AI infrastructure combining proprietary energy and cooling technology, HyperCube manufacturing, grid-aware software, and NVIDIA DSX AI Factory reference architectures. Headquartered in Sydney, Firmus serves AI-native and enterprise customers across Australia and Asia-Pacific.
