As digital demand surges, data center construction faces increasing uncertainty. Rising energy costs, evolving sustainability regulations, technological advancements, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical instability have made long-term planning more complex than ever. While hyperscale and edge computing continue to drive expansion, conflicting priorities including efficiency, environmental responsibility, and rapid deployment - create hesitation among stakeholders.
This panel will explore whether the industry is entering an "age of indecision," where cautious approaches to design and construction are slowing progress.
