Keynote - Reinvent new ways of thinking with impactful results - The future of digital, energy and grid infrastructure in the AI era

We are living in an extraordinary moment of transformation. Since the pandemic, global internet traffic has nearly quadrupled—driven by explosive growth in social media and accelerated adoption of AI applications across both the public sector and global enterprises seeking operational efficiency.

According to the IEA, global energy demand rose by 2.2% last year, led by industrial activity. Data centers alone now account for more than 50% of recent global electricity growth, and the sector’s energy consumption is expected to outpace most other industrial segments in the years ahead.

The digital infrastructure landscape is evolving rapidly, with billions of dollars being invested in the design and deployment of gigawatt-scale AI cluster data centers—reshaping the future of digital, energy, and grid ecosystems.

Join us for this opening keynote to hear from industry thought leaders with deep expertise and global recognition. We’ll explore how to reinvent conventional thinking and strategically deploy capital—billions per year—with clear, intentional outcomes to drive a generational transformation in digital infrastructure for the AI era.
