Investment Forum | APAC // Architects of Scale: Navigating the evolution toward gigawatt infrastructure in APAC

APAC projects are expanding at a rate that would have been unimaginable just 5 years ago. Unprecedented demand for massively sized campuses has led to some markets, such as Singapore, reaching a breaking point. Now, as operators and investors continue to look for the next big opportunity, operators need to raise more capital than ever before whilst putting in more risk for their projects. This panel asks whether key players can strategise on a future template from the lessons learnt from these larger markets? How can a playbook be used as emerging markets become more significant players in the region?

• How are operators and investors moving from single-asset loans to massive-scale capital structures across APAC? How is financing being navigated?
• With land and water bottlenecks increasingly affecting growth opportunities, how are leading operators and investors future proofing their assets?
• Examining how gigascale developers are now being forced to become their own power utilities, and how on-site generation will lead the future of datacenter growth
• As primary hubs continue to become constrained across the region, which cities or countries are operators and investors looking at scaling, and how? What regulatory environments are most suitable to gigawatt size investment projects?
