Panel – Liquidity, IPOs and consolidation: who will own the AI infrastructure ecosystem?

AI infrastructure has attracted enormous amounts of capital, but investors are increasingly focused on how and when that value will be realised. The value of global digital infrastructure M&A transactions increased by more than 60% in 2025, underscoring the growing importance of consolidation and portfolio repositioning. From IPOs and M&A to secondary transactions and capital recycling, the industry is entering a new phase where ownership structures, liquidity events and consolidation will shape the future competitive landscape.

• Will IPOs, public markets and alternative liquidity pathways provide the capital required to support the next phase of AI infrastructure growth?
• How are investors approaching secondary transactions, minority stake sales, continuation vehicles and capital recycling as assets mature?
• As consolidation accelerates across data centres, AI infrastructure and neoclouds, which assets and platforms are most likely to become long-term market leaders?
