IBA Private Equity Transactions Symposium 2026

Session information

Sector update: PE and AI infrastructure

Tuesday 10 November (1115 - 1200)

Description

The AI boom runs on physical infrastructure, and data centres are where it all collides. Semiconductors and supply chains, surging power demand, shifting tenants (hyperscalers, neo-clouds and AI specialists), hyperactive regulators juggling a web of local and geopolitical concerns, and ever more creative financing are all racing to keep up with a technology that will not sit still. This panel dives into how private equity is chasing the opportunity, navigating the constraints and unlocking value in the unknowns.
