1 December 2026 | 09:00 – 13:00 | Shangri-La Singapore Invitation-only | Chatham House Rule | 100 senior executives

According to JLL, the APAC region is entering a multi-year digital infrastructure growth cycle driven by hyperscaler expansion, AI adoption and cloud growth. The region is expected to add approximately 24GW of data centre capacity between 2025 and 2030, requiring up to US$772 billion of investment across real estate, compute and networking infrastructure. JLL also reports that 78% of the 4.8GW of supply expected by 2027 is already pre-leased, highlighting both the strength of demand and the urgency of bringing new capacity online.

Despite AI demand accelerating across the region, not every megawatt will be investable. Investors increasingly look beyond growth forecasts to assess whether projects can secure power, customers, regulatory support, community buy-in and delivery certainty.

The Digital Infrastructure Finance and Investment Summit brings together investors, developers, operators, lenders, hyperscalers and neocloud players to examine what separates investable capacity from speculative pipeline. Across the morning, the Summit will explore what evidence makes demand bankable, how capital and risk should be structured across different asset layers, whether assets can still be underwritten individually when their returns depend on a wider infrastructure system, and how capital is ultimately returned and recycled.

  1. What evidence turns AI demand into bankable revenue?
  2. Which risks can investors control, transfer or price?
  3. Should AI infrastructure be underwritten as individual assets or as an interconnected system
