Now more than ever, governments around the world are recognising the importance of partnership with the private sector to deliver transformational investment required to meet global challenges. GIIA, along with with experts in the industry, will be discussing areas that provide both challenges and opportunities in addressing the ways in which we can close the gap in infrastructure investment.
Episode 41: GIIA Explainer: Getting up to speed on Europe's data centre landscape
In this latest edition of Talking Global Infrastructure, our Policy & Public Affairs Manager Alessandro Pecorari and Senior Policy & Public Affairs Manager Alex Hagemann talk through the key findings of GIIA's new paper on data centres.
Discover the key trends shaping the European market as our team goes jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction to break down the regulatory and investment landscapes in Germany, France, the UK, and Spain.
As we take a closer look at the policy detail behind the paper, Alex and Alessandro go over the distinctions in the current data centre market for investors: training versus inference, hyperscale versus colocation, and the shift from demand-led planning to constraint-led planning.
Policies like the Cloud and AI Development Act, the Energy Efficiency Directive and the incoming EU-Wide data centre rating scheme continue to impact the markets our members invest in; this episode discusses which markets hold the most opportunities for investors, and which are falling short.
