Plenary Sessions
The Greater Bay Area (GBA) encompassing Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and other leading cities is Asia’s fastest-growing hub for cloud and data center innovation in 2026. Driven by the surge in AI adoption, cloud migration, and low-latency interconnection, the region is attracting unprecedented investment in hyperscale and enterprise-grade facilities. Operators are focusing on AI-ready, energy-efficient, and resilient infrastructure, while enterprises demand scalable hybrid cloud ecosystems to power high-density workloads, cross-border services, and digital transformation initiatives.
At the same time, the GBA faces challenges that are shaping the next generation of digital infrastructure: regulatory complexity, talent shortages, sustainability expectations, and the need for operational resilience. These dynamics are redefining how facilities are designed, financed, and operated, with a growing emphasis on intelligent infrastructure, green technologies, and ecosystem collaboration.
The Greater Bay Area Cloud & Datacenter Convention (Hong Kong) 2026 is the premier platform for industry leaders, hyperscalers, investors, and policymakers to explore these trends and opportunities. Through insightful keynotes, expert panels, and executive discussions, participants will gain actionable insights into investment strategies, AI-driven transformation, sustainability solutions, and future-ready infrastructure planning.
