Event Summary:

IPFA Future Leaders Network Asia

The Future of Infrastructure Business Models in the AI Economy

This IPFA Future Leader Network event will explore two key themes: (a) how technology and AI are influencing the way governments and regulators plan for future infrastructure; and (b) how technology is driving change within infrastructure businesses and investment models, including the key considerations for investors and financiers when evaluating opportunities across power, digital and other infrastructure sectors.

The discussion will consider the intersection of policy, infrastructure demand, investment decision-making, project finance, and the evolving commercial models that may emerge as AI adoption accelerates.

By the end of this session, Future Leaders should gain practical insights into:

- How AI is reshaping infrastructure business models across sectors, including the growing role of digital and data infrastructure and the potential shift from asset-based to platform and service-oriented models

- Key regulatory, policy and planning considerations as governments and regulators respond to AI-driven infrastructure demand, including power, connectivity, data and digital infrastructure requirements

- Where value is likely to accrue across the infrastructure ecosystem, and the implications for infrastructure investors, lenders and developers

- Practical considerations for investors, financiers and project stakeholders when assessing AI-related infrastructure opportunities, risks, financing structures and long-term revenue models.
