The days of easy yield and land-grab strategies are fading fast. As power constraints tighten, AI reshapes infrastructure needs, and hyperscalers internalize capacity, private equity investors face a shifting risk-reward landscape in data center investments.

This discussion unpacks the new playbook—where smart capital is going, what asset types are gaining favor, and how value creation is evolving beyond just MW and PUE. Should investors back niche operators, subsea routes, or AI-specialized campuses? How does sustainability risk affect valuation? And is operational capability now just as important as capital deployment?

As data centers scale to meet AI and hyperscale demands, traditional grid dependency and carbon-intensive energy mixes are becoming critical constraints. This keynote explores how alternative low-carbon energy sources—such as green hydrogen are emerging as viable solutions to support high-density infrastructure without compromising sustainability goals.

In today’s high-stakes data center and infrastructure environment, procurement leaders are no longer just negotiators—they’re strategic partners driving innovation, managing risk, and aligning diverse stakeholder priorities. From navigating supply chain volatility and vendor consolidation to enabling sustainability goals and AI-driven infrastructure, the procurement function is being redefined.

This discussion features procurement heads and strategic sourcing experts who are shaping the future of mission-critical projects. How do they balance cost with speed and innovation? What role do they play in mitigating geopolitical and supply risks? And how are procurement strategies evolving to support long-term growth across the digital infrastructure ecosystem?

As data centers evolve into digitally integrated, hyper-connected infrastructure hubs, cybersecurity has become a critical part of operational resilience. No longer just the tenant’s concern, vulnerabilities in systems like BMS, remote monitoring platforms, and interconnect infrastructure can now pose real physical and reputational risks to operators themselves. From ransomware and insider breaches to attacks on HVAC, UPS, and facility control systems. What are the most overlooked vectors? Who is responsible for protecting shared infrastructure? And how should operators balance physical security, IT risk, and compliance in a converging threat environment?

As data centers scale to support dense AI workloads, lithium-ion batteries, and complex power architectures, the risk of fire becomes more than a theoretical threat. Recent high-profile incidents have raised urgent questions about the adequacy of existing fire prevention systems, design choices, and operational protocols.

This panel brings together safety engineers, facility operators, insurers, and regulators to explore the root causes of fire incidents, how the industry is responding, and what operators must do to future-proof against catastrophic loss. From battery chemistry and airflow design to early warning systems and incident accountability, this session dives deep into the technical and human factors behind fire resilience in next-generation facilities.

As AI workloads surge and sustainability becomes non-negotiable, the role of consulting engineers has expanded from MEP designers to strategic advisors in digital infrastructure. Today’s engineering consultancies must balance high-density power demands, advanced cooling systems, ESG compliance, and modular scalability—often all at once.

As artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) rapidly evolve, so do the thermal management challenges that come with increasing compute density and power consumption. This presentation by Envicool explores the critical cooling requirements of modern AI and HPC data centers and presents comprehensive, scalable solutions that address these needs. From air cooling innovations like the high-capacity FWU system to fully integrated liquid cooling chains—CDUs, manifolds, cold plates, and intelligent leak detection—Envicool demonstrates how it delivers “More Than Cooling.” Highlighting global deployment experience, including over 1.2GW of liquid cooling projects and a strong Southeast Asian presence, the presentation emphasizes Envicool’s ability to provide fast, reliable, and efficient thermal solutions across all data center scenarios, ensuring energy efficiency, operational safety, and future scalability.

AI infrastructure is evolving faster than data centers can adapt. The power needed to support it is increasingly scarce and slow to secure. As lead times for power approvals stretch from months to years, and AI workloads demand high-density, GPU-optimized environments, operators face an unprecedented design dilemma: how do you future-proof a facility when both the technology and the grid are moving targets?

From modular designs and phased deployment to power-aware hardware selection and thermal innovation, we ask: what must change in how we design, equip, and scale the next generation of data centers?

As the digital infrastructure landscape rapidly transforms, data centers must adapt to shifting demands in AI workloads, sustainability imperatives, land and power constraints, and evolving investment dynamics. This engaging panel gathers leading industry experts to provide candid insights into the future outlook of the data center industry. Through forward-looking analysis and diverse perspectives, panelists will explore trends, opportunities, challenges, and strategic directions likely to define data center growth and innovation over the next decade.

This session focuses on how banks and financial institutions must rethink their data center strategies to meet the infrastructure needs of AI. Key themes include planning for scalable power availability, adopting hybrid liquid and air cooling to manage thermal loads, and reconfiguring space to accommodate high-density racks in both on-prem and colocation. We’ll explore how modernizing physical infrastructure—not just IT stacks—is critical for enabling AI transformation at scale while meeting uptime, compliance, and sustainability goals.

As the demand for AI and high-performance computing skyrockets, organizations face a crucial choice: build on general-purpose cloud platforms or adopt specialized GPU-as-a-Service infrastructure. While traditional CSPs offer scale and ecosystem depth, GPUaaS providers promise raw performance, cost efficiency, and workload-specific optimization.

As AI and high-performance workloads become foundational to modern enterprises, GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) is emerging as a critical layer in the digital infrastructure stack. But what does it take to deliver GPUaaS at scale—and who truly benefits from it?
