Key Themes for 2026

Power and time to power

Grid bottlenecks, interconnection queues, and new supply models are now the defining constraint on AI scale. From on-site generation and nuclear pathways to storage and ERCOT dynamics - this is the new battleground for growth.
AI demand

Inference growth, agentic workflows, and enterprise AI adoption are reshaping infrastructure demand. What does the next phase of compute look like?

As capital floods into digital infrastructure, LP expectations, return profiles, and deal structures are shifting. Who is deploying fastest - and who is deploying smartest? 
Texas

Texas has become the focal point for U.S. AI infrastructure - driven by policy, land, energy availability and capital inflows. What comes next as demand accelerates and constraints emerge? 
Power and time to power

From liquid to immersion, how do we push the limits of what’s physically possible to meet AI demand?
AI demand

From NIMBYism to permitting delays and grid policy, local dynamics are increasingly dictating where and how projects move forward - and at what speed.
Infrastructure convergence

The boundaries between sectors are disappearing. Winning strategies now require alignment across the full stack.
Texas

Operationally, the stack is fragmenting. Strategically it’s converging.  

Why Texas and Why Austin?

Austin is the home of Datacloud USA for a reason. Texas is now the most important market for data centers and digital infrastructure in the United States - the place where power, capital, fiber and data centers are aligning at unprecedented speed.

Austin's a great place to spend a few days, too - and the Datacloud USA experience lets you enjoy everything the city has to offer.
