Fastest growing investment trends – Spotlight on infrastructure and data centres
Over the last five years, Spain has aligned itself with the biggest infrastructure markets in the world – becoming a leader in infrastructure M&A on a global scale. In addition to the volume of infrastructure projects, there is also an extremely diverse investor base in the region: From infra funds to pension funds, insurance companies, corporates, private equity and family offices. Alongside traditional infra investments, energy providers to European data centres are actively considering M&A as a way of helping to fund their investments and Spain is becoming a highly appealing location due to its abundance of space and its solar energy resources – Iberdrola alone plans to launch EUR 2bn data centre subsidiary with EUR 10bn investment plans. The panel will discuss:
- The appeal of Spanish infrastructure to the global stage. How is it going to be impacted by international supply chain developments?
- Will the rapid growth of AI and cloud-computing lead to a surge in dealmaking activity in the year ahead?
- Investments in data centres: Cross-border appeal, consolidation through acquisition and recent deals (ie: AtlasEdge Data Centres)
- The impact of data centres extended ecosystems on local economies: From investments in real estate to software to satellite and more
