Digital infrastructure as a broad asset class continues witnessing a globally synchronous build and investment cycle. Asia Pacific, in particular sits at the convergence of structural infra underpenetration, exploding data consumption, emerging AI narratives and accelerating capital deployment appetite from a broad cross-section of global and regional investors.

Our panel of market, legal and finance experts shared their insights on the prevailing Asian digital infrastructure investment and funding trends across sub-asset classes and how this region’s dynamics compare to the Americas and Europe.

Discussion points:

• Assessing the current Asian digital infra growth thesis across asset-classes (Towers, Data Centres, Fibre) – and how differently this is panning out vs Americas and Europe
• Widening Sponsor interest, pockets of most significant greenfield vs secondary M&A activity
• Navigating the multi-jurisdictional APAC financing landscape
• Opportunities and Challenges around participating in the Asian ‘AI-centric Infrastructure’ narrative

Speakers:

• Sachin Goel, MD and Head of TMT Asia Pacific, MUFG (Moderator)
