Connect | London // DCD>Keynote Panel: Aligning capital with capacity to build the next gen of digital infra

Artificial intelligence is transforming the pace, scale, and economics of digital infrastructure. Capital is pouring into AI-driven projects, pushing data center operators to rethink how they finance, design, and deliver capacity. As investments continue, sustainability commitments and regulatory pressures are also intensifying, creating a delicate balance between speed, scale, and long-term responsibility.

This keynote examines how capital and capacity can be aligned to meet AI’s demands without compromising resilience or environmental goals. Leaders from across finance, technology, and infrastructure will debate whether current funding models can keep pace, how hyperscale and AI-native strategies are converging or diverging, and the role of cross-sector collaboration in enabling sustainable growth.
