Panel: The Rise of Neoclouds: Powering the Next Phase of AI and Cloud Infrastructure

Thursday 4 June 2026
Innovation Stage, hosted by Verne
Pink Zone

As AI adoption accelerates and cloud usage patterns continue to evolve, neocloud providers are emerging alongside hyperscalers as part of a more diverse and specialised cloud ecosystem. Spanning AI hyperscalers, GPU cloud‑as‑a‑service, and emerging AI factories, neoclouds are reshaping how infrastructure is designed, financed, and delivered.

  • How are neoclouds meeting demand for AI‑ready compute, regional deployment, and workload‑specific infrastructure within a multi‑cloud environment?
  • What role do partnerships with hyperscalers, data centre operators, energy providers and investors play in enabling sustainable growth and sustainable cloud delivery?
  • How are enterprises using neoclouds within hybrid and multi‑cloud strategies?
  • What role will neoclouds play long‑term within the cloud and AI landscape?
