The digital transformation of the global economy, the development of artificial intelligence, and the growing importance of data sovereignty are making data centers not only critical infrastructure but also one of the key sectors in the commercial real estate market.
Poland – thanks to its strategic location, increasing demand for computing power, and developing ICT infrastructure – has a real opportunity to become one of the main data center hubs in Central and Eastern Europe.
The “Data Center – Real Estate, Technology, Investment” conference serves as a unique platform for dialogue between investors, developers, IT and AI sector representatives, data center operators, local governments, and market advisors. This event bridges the world of technology with the real estate market, raising essential questions: Where should data centers be built? How should they be financed? How can their energy efficiency be optimized? And how can we meet climate and regulatory challenges?
The event emphasizes the strategic importance of data centers for the future of the Polish economy and highlights the need for cooperation between the private sector and public institutions. Participants will have the opportunity to explore current technological trends, location analyses, case studies of successful investments, and market development scenarios through 2030.
We invite everyone who wants to actively shape the future of digital infrastructure in Poland and the CEE region – from technology leaders and market analysts to decision-makers responsible for spatial planning and regional development.
