ABOUT THE EVENT

Data Centres as a Real Estate Asset Class is continuing its growth upswing and attracting  new capital from institutional investors, private equity firms, and specialised real estate investment trusts (REITs).

This sector is expected to only grow, due to the strong demand for cloud services, the Internet of Things (IoT), and advanced digital services. Yet with environmental concerns as well as the specialist operational nature, are we already at peak supply or should we encourage room for more?

This club meeting will bring key stakeholders of data centres and real estate together, to forge business connections and discuss what opportunities are driving significant investment and development across the UK and European Data Centre Real Estate space.
