Data Centres at the Crossroads: Navigating Growth, Regulation, and Sustainability
Data centres are rapidly evolving as critical infrastructure underpinning the global digital economy, driven by surging demand for cloud services, AI, and data sovereignty. As governments worldwide introduce new policy incentives and regulatory frameworks, the sector faces a complex landscape shaped by geopolitical competition, investment controls, and heightened scrutiny around cybersecurity and data protection.
At the same time, operators and investors must address mounting challenges around energy availability, sustainability targets, and the need for innovative financing solutions. This panel will explore how stakeholders are adapting to these converging trends—balancing regulatory risk, securing sustainable power, leveraging new financing models, and future-proofing assets in a dynamic and increasingly strategic market.
Discussion Points:
- The impact of global and regional policy initiatives and regulatory developments on data centre growth and investment
- Navigating trade restrictions, FDI screening, and data localisation requirements in cross-border transactions
- Addressing cybersecurity, operational resilience, and evolving data protection standards
- Securing reliable, sustainable power: grid constraints, private power solutions, and emerging technologies
- Innovative financing models: asset-backed securitisation, GPU-backed lending, and portfolio financings
- M&A trends, strategic partnerships, and future-proofing data centre assets in a rapidly changing environment
