AI Infrastructure Investment Forum

As part of Data Centre & Energy APAC 2027, the AI Infrastructure Investment Forum brings together investors, asset owners, hyperscalers, policymakers and industry leaders to explore how AI is reshaping the future of infrastructure, investment and economic growth across the Asia-Pacific region. As data centres evolve into strategic infrastructure assets and the foundation of emerging AI ecosystems, the forum examines where capital is flowing, how digital infrastructure is being valued, and how regional compute networks are redefining the competitive landscape.

Through discussions on infrastructure investment, APAC compute corridors, AI-driven industry transformation and regional economic development, the forum explores how AI infrastructure is creating value beyond the data centre itself—from enabling new industries and attracting long-term capital to supporting local jobs, innovation and broader economic prosperity.
