Focuses on how capital, policy, and infrastructure come together to drive sustainable growth in the digital economy.
Data Center Investment Summit (DCIS) is w.media’s fast-growing event series dedicated to exploring the financial, strategic, and regulatory forces shaping the global digital infrastructure industry. Positioned at the intersection of capital markets, connectivity, and data centers, DCIS brings together investors, operators, regulators, and technology leaders to chart the future of interconnected economies.
The event focuses on how capital, policy, and infrastructure come together to drive sustainable growth in the digital economy.
Key Discussion Topics:
- Investments
- Hyperscale, colocation, and edge investment trends
- Construction and operation financial models
- Valuation models and ROI for digital infrastructure assets
- Emerging markets and new growth corridors
- Regulations
- Data sovereignty, compliance, and ESG frameworks
- Tax incentives, SEZ/FTZ policies, and cross-border licensing
- The role of governments and regulators in shaping infrastructure finance
- Legal & Risk Mitigation
- Navigating cross-border legal frameworks in infrastructure investments

Unlike technology-driven events, DCIS is uniquely designed for the finance, strategy, and regulatory lens of the digital infrastructure ecosystem.
