Powering the Future with AI Infrastructure Investment

How AI demand is redefining global data centre and capital strategies

Thursday 13 November | 15:00 - 15:50 GMT | Webinar

Presented by

In Partnership with

Can Capital Markets Power the AI Infrastructure Boom?

As AI adoption accelerates, the data centres powering this transformation have become one of the fastest-growing, and most strategically vital, asset classes in global markets. Once a niche within real estate, digital infrastructure is now attracting significant institutional and corporate investment as financiers position for a long-term AI-driven economy. Capital is flowing into data storage, compute power, and energy-resilient infrastructure across the US and Europe, while new financing models are emerging to accommodate unprecedented demand for scale and sustainability.

This discussion, co-hosted by the Financial Times and S&P Global Market Intelligence, will explore how rising investment in AI infrastructure intersects with shifts in financial reporting, regulatory scrutiny, and capital allocation. Drawing on S&P Global’s proprietary data and market intelligence, the panel will examine how investment banks, private capital, and corporates are structuring digital infrastructure financing; how sustainability and energy factors are reshaping valuation; and how new transparency requirements, including the potential move toward semi-annual reporting for US public companies, could influence future dealmaking and capital flows.
