In such a scenario, objective information is vital for investors looking to diversify their asset portfolios and government agencies looking to regulate the various facets of the data center industry

“We strive to find out information needs of our markets and produce events of the highest integrity and value for all stakeholders”

The disruptive uptake of decentralized data center assets triggered by sovereign cloud, IoT and AI, made us realise the need for a new event platform.
A platform designed to satisfy the demand from key stakeholders in emerging and high-growth data center geographies. We are inspired by the belief that local digital infrastructure communities need to foster unity in the era of digital transformation.
Data Center Nation embodies this very spirit.
A Nation built with National Data Center Ecosystems at its core.
