Keynote Panel: The New Landscape of Digital Infrastructure Development

The development of digital infrastructure is entering a new era, one shaped by unprecedented demand, geopolitical complexity, capital discipline, sustainability pressures, and the rapid acceleration of AI and cloud-driven workloads. Fiber networks, subsea systems, and data centers are no longer built in isolation; they are increasingly interdependent components of a global digital ecosystem.

This panel brings together C-level leaders from fiber, subsea, and data center platforms to examine how the rules of development are changing. From site selection and network design to financing, permitting, resilience, and long-term scalability, these executives will share how they are adapting strategies to meet today’s realities while positioning for what comes next.

Attendees will gain a cross-sector perspective on where capital is flowing, what constraints are reshaping timelines, and how collaboration across infrastructure layers is becoming essential to future growth.
