London/Antibes, 15 July 2025 – The highly anticipated Energy Transition Forum at Platform Global 2025 has been officially announced. The forum, which will take place at the Palais des Congrès in Antibes/Juan-les-Pins, will focus on the evolution of energy as data centre campuses and factories continue to be deployed globally. It will also explore the role of energy in servicing AI infrastructure.
Now in its fourth year, Platform Global 2025 is an annual conference that brings together investors and leaders in the data centre industry. The event covers various topics such as risk, finance and investment, real estate, and the energy transition. With a focus on high-end networking, the event boasts a 69% attendance rate of C-level delegates in 2024. Attendees can also look forward to curated content from an exceptional academy of speakers, all while enjoying the beautiful backdrop of the Mediterranean in the charming resort town of Antibes.
One of the main themes of the forum will be the current state of grid infrastructure in the US and Europe and its ability to support the growing demand for AI. This will be addressed through two key discussions:
1. Investment and Powering The Short Haul to 2030
With the growth of data centres and the adoption of AI heavily relying on the availability of electric power, the industry will need to identify interim energy solutions to sustain its growth until abundant and carbon-free resources become available.
2. Longer Term Energy Prospects
As the demand for energy is expected to triple by 2050, energy companies must reimagine and rebuild their infrastructure. This will be driven by the increasing digitalization of global economies. Sustainable data centre expansion remains crucial and post-2030, the industry could see the emergence of alternative technologies such as nuclear, solar, and next-generation battery solutions.
The Energy Transition Forum will bring together investors in the energy transition and industry experts for a unique conversation. Sustainability-focused considerations will be high on the agenda, particularly in terms of data centre financing and enabling the transition to a decarbonized economy.
Registration for Platform Global is now open to investors, leaders in data centre organizations, and companies engaged in the industry. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to be a part of the conversation. Register today at www.digital-infrastructure.com/global/registration.
