illions of dollars are being invested
in data centres on a monthly basis,
attracting a larger and more diverse
set of investors. Global investors, financiers
and analysts will meet this year at the
Finvest Summit in Monaco to assess market
outlook and sentiment for the vibrant data
centre, cloud and Edge sector.
The Finvest Summit is presented by
BroadGroup’s Data Economy, a leading
international technology business news and
opinion website, magazine and broadcaster

and will take place on June 5, 2019 to run
alongside the annual Datacloud Global
Congress in Monaco.
João Marques Lima, Founder and Editor-in-
Chief, Data Economy, said: “Over US$10
billion have already been disclosed, as having
been spent on M&A business and facility
acquisitions, possibly driving 2019 to break all
M&A records in the data centre space. Finvest
uniquely offers for the first time a global
forum for investors to debate the risk and
rewards in this rapidly expanding sector.”
With the heritage of a decade of producing
the finance and investment forum, the
inaugural summit is the first time global
executives in financial, legal, real estate
and professional advisory firms have met
globally with a stellar academy of expert
speakers to assess the risks and rewards
in the rapidly expanding IT infrastructure
sector. Speakers include investors, private
equity, hedge funds, pension funds,
property specialists and bankers, as well
as the IT infrastructure leadership of data
centre businesses. n
