Panel: Is the future of data centres modular?

Tuesday 2 June 2026
Discovery Stage, hosted by Schneider Electric
Green Zone

Operators are now facing the prospect of building multiple facilities concurrently, potentially across different site locations, instead of taking up to five years to bring a site online, the average development cycle is down to 18-24 months. A modular approach can help to refine and streamline the process at a time when speed and efficiency are top priorities to service the overwhelming demand for new facilities. 

  • How does a modularity and a programmatic approach help to solve the design challenge; standardised on components, additional manufacturers 

  • What is going to be the winning architecture? 

  • Retrofitting modularity is much more challenging, how does this affect initial planning
