Platform Global 2025 Announces the Energy Transition Forum - Middle East Business News and Information
The Energy Transition Forum at Platform Global 2025 has been announced and brings acute focus to the evolution of Energy as data centre campuses and factories deploy globally and its ability to service AI infrastructure. Platform Global 2025, now in its 4th year, taking place at the Palais des Congrès, Antibes/Juan-les-Pins is an annual seminal conference for Investors and the leadership of data centres and covers risk, finance and investment, real estate, and the energy transition. The event values are based on high-end networking – with 69% of C-level delegates in 2024 – and curated content that outperforms any datacenter event in EMEA, provided by an exceptional academy of speakers. Those attending also experience the backdrop of the Mediterranean in the quiet resort town of Antibes. As Grid infrastructure in the US and Europe is currently under-equipped to enable the growth in AI, the forum will address two mega themes: Investment and Powering The Short Haul to 2030 The growth of data centres and the adoption of AI rely on the availability of electric power and the industry will need to identify interim energy solutions before the arrival of abundant and carbon-free resources. Longer Term Energy Prospects Power generation needs to more than triple by 2050, and Energy companies need to reimagine and rebuild their stack, stimulated by net new, robust commercial demand, given that globally, economies are rapidly digitalizing. Energy generation investments remain critical to sustainable data center expansion which post-2030 could realise several viable alternative technologies, including nuclear, solar, and next-gen battery solutions. In this unique conversation of investors in energy transition and industry experts, sustainability-focused considerations will be high on the agenda for data centre financing and how to enable the transition to a decarbonised economy. Platform Global is open for registration to Investors, the leadership of data centre organizations and companies engaged in the industry. Join the event and register today

AI Capex Requirements, Risk and Energy Transition Top the Agenda for Platform Global 2025 - Middle East Business News and Information
Following on from a sold-out event in 2024, Platform Global 2025 announces a new programme with the top themes of AI Capex Requirements, Risk, and Energy Transition for the year ahead. Investor sentiment towards data centers is at an all-time high with data center construction in the US alone adding one percentage point to GDP growth in the first quarter but with increased focus from regulators, governments and the general public on the sector, together with the growth in AI, it is crucial that investors and operators fully understand all aspects of this increasingly complex environment. The Platform Global 2025 programme offers the audience high-quality curated content, preparing them for navigating this increasingly volatile landscape whilst balancing risk, return, and operational complexity. AI is rapidly changing the landscape for digital infrastructure. According to McKinsey, almost $7 trillion in capital outlay for data centers will be needed by 2030 to support the global shift to AI-powered digital infrastructure. Investors and operators need to be prepared to manage this evolution and the unique programme content at Platform Global 2025 offers clear insight into the industry response to this huge opportunity for growth. It is crucial that investors and operators in the sector understand the impact of energy transition on funding, investment, and regulation. AI is forecast to drive 165% increase in data center power demand by 2030. With a strong focus on the issues and opportunities related to powering the AI revolution, the programme offers key stakeholders the ability to prepare for increased scrutiny, increased risk, and increased complexity in this area. Whilst risk has always been at the forefront of investor sentiment, digital infrastructure will be impacted by geopolitical and sovereignty challenges. The Platform Global 2025 programme includes experts in these areas who offer real insight into how to manage these within the context of digital infrastructure investment. Platform Global has quickly gained a reputation as the leading event in the sector. Offering quality content, networking, and attendees, the event is a global leadership meeting bringing together senior representatives from private equity, data center operating businesses, law firms, real estate, connectivity, investors in energy transition, advisors, and government. The event is held in the secluded Mediterranean resort town of Antibes/Juan-les-Pins and is highly regarded for senior-level networking (69% of attendees at C-level in 2024) with an enviable variety of social interactions, including a conference dinner and awards ceremony. 'The event has grown to become a recognized quality forum for deal makers in the data center industry,' commented Gregory Gerot, managing director of Platform Markets Group. 'The quality of our content and networking is reflected in the fact that the event sold out in 2024. In response to feedback from delegates, we have again limited the attendee numbers to a maximum of 700 people for 2025.'
