DATA CENTRES
If capturing more of the booming data centre market is of interest, then please get in touch
Why are data centres so important?
Almost everything we do in our digital world is supported by the data centre industry. From keeping in touch with friends and family on social media, to watching movies on streaming services at the weekend. Data centres support almost all of the functions we now rely on in our working and social lives, and as we move to an AI-driven future this will only become truer.
Demand for data centre capacity has grown at a fast pace as the world has digitalised, but with the proliferation of AI applications we are now seeing an acceleration in this growth. This growth is set in the context of a greater need for sustainability, and the data centre industry will be defined by its ability to balance these two forces in the coming years.
Whether you are a data centre company looking to craft a strategy for the future, or an investment company looking to capture some of the opportunity, STL Partners can support you. Our research and consulting teams have significant experience in the sector and are always keen to engage with the industry to learn more.
