Investment & Finance Forum

Data centres as an investment opportunity - capital allocation, bankability, and long-term value creation

The Investment & Finance Forum at Datacloud Global Congress 2026 is a half‑day programme dedicated exclusively to data centres as an investment asset class. Set within the main congress, it brings together senior decision‑makers from private equity, institutional capital, LPs, GPs, investment banks, operators, developers and power providers to examine how AI‑driven demand is reshaping deal structures, financing models and risk profiles.

Designed for the investment community, the forum connects 100+ leading dealmakers navigating an increasingly competitive and complex digital infrastructure landscape.

These are closed-door conversations that will only happen at The Investment & Finance Forum.
