10 Sep 2024
Radisson Blu Conference Stage
Datacloud Africa

Data centres are the most promising asset class, owing primarily to the enourmous demand – there will never be enough data centres in Africa. However, the current economic environment has seen investments come off the boil. The session will explore how clever and patient capital is crucial to data centre expansion:

  • How does valuation pressure affect performance?
  • What does the current FX environment mean for deals?
  • How can operators build an attractive proposition for investors?
  • What's driving investor positivity, and can it continue?
