Europe’s data centre sector continues to expand and attract significant capital. Data centres and digital infrastructure have moved decisively from niche alternatives to core institutional real estate and infrastructure assets. Across Europe, accelerating cloud adoption, AI-driven compute demand, fibre densification and data sovereignty requirements accelerate infrastructure investment across the region and are reshaping capital allocation, development strategies and risk underwriting.
The market is now undergoing unprecedented change and entering a new phase defined by selective growth. Power availability, access to the grid, data sovereignty, AI workloads, regulatory complexity, and sustainability requirements increasingly determine where new capacity can be delivered.
Alongside traditional markets which have been dominant, like the UK and Germany, new markets are emerging, from Scandinavia in the North to Spain and Portugal in the South.
What is hype vs reality? Where are the real opportunities for investors in a crowded field? With markets maturing and secondary European hubs gaining traction, this panel discussion at PwC in Frankfurt will focus on where capital is flowing, how risks are being priced, and what differentiates winning locations and platforms in an increasingly competitive and capital-intensive sector.
Leading real estate experts will discuss how occupier perspectives, power availability, planning regimes, location strategy, leasing structures and investor return expectations are evolving in Europe.
