Why Lisbon?
AI is driving the emergence of new hyperscale hubs across the globe, but Lisbon stands out for a number of reasons:
-
An inviting investment and real estate landscape, with €12 billion in planned data centre projects, supported by policies encouraging foreign investment through Portugal Digital and AICEP.
-
A connectivity powerhouse served by multiple subsea cables and backed by sustainable energy sources, resulting in purpose-built zones such as the Sines Tech – Innovation & Data Center Hub.
-
A track record of university–industry partnerships focused on training in AI, cloud, and data centre skills.
-
All this brought together in a perennially popular and accessible event location.
