PANEL | East Asia's digital infrastructure sector is experiencing explosive growth, with its data centre market projected to soar to more than $50 billion by 2026. This panel delves into the complex interplay of policy, investment, and innovation shaping this dynamic landscape across China, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. Experts will, for example, analyse the impact of China's 14th Five-Year Plan and ambitious sustainability goals on the industry with key topics encompassing regulatory shifts affecting foreign investment, strategies adopted by East Asia operators to meet stringent energy efficiency targets, and the ripple effects of the sub-region's digital infrastructure development on the APAC market. The panel will expand on:

• How are regulatory policies reshaping the landscape for foreign investment in the four country's digital infrastructure sector?

• What strategies and technologies are data centre operators implementing to meet the government's stringent energy efficiency and sustainability targets?

• In what ways is East Asia's rapid digital infrastructure development influencing the broader APAC market, and what are the potential long-term implications for regional and global competitiveness?
