Panel Discussion - How are investors meeting the continued demand for capital in data centres?

24 Feb 2025
Caribbean Ballroom
Metro Connect 2025

The growth of the data centre sector continues, with BCG predicting a tripling in capacity from 2022 - 2030. Meeting this demand will require ever-increasing volumes of capital from existing and new innovative sources. This session will explore:

  • How the evolving understanding of rating agencies is expanding the role of asset-backed securitisation, especially into colocation.
  • The growing impact of private credit in meeting data centre's demand for capital.
  • How investors are viewing the risk posed by lower-quality AI tenants taking up large amounts of capacity.
