Connect | APAC // Welcome Panel: Where to build next? Navigating growth inside APAC’s leading markets

APAC’s most established data center markets remain the backbone of regional development, but dynamics within them are shifting. Secondary cities are emerging as serious contenders, infrastructure pressure is reshaping deployment strategies, and investment decisions are more complex than ever.

This opening panel will explore how these established markets are evolving, which hubs are driving the next wave of development, and what factors should guide site selection and capital deployment. Should you double down on established cities, or follow demand into emerging hubs? What infrastructure, policy, and sustainability trends are shaping the long-term outlook?
