The flagship event, which brings together an unparalleled assembly of senior leaders including C-suite executives, investors, legal advisors, owners, operators and vendors, saw more than 4500 attendees register to network, discuss new business strategies, and secure deals in one of the world’s fastest growing technology markets.

Over two dynamic days, more than 170 thought leaders—60% comprising C-level executives or directors from globally renowned technology companies—discussed critical industry topics. These included the pervasive influence of AI, the landscape of investment, the future of energy, crucial ESG initiatives, vital talent development, and overarching sustainability. Notably, this year’s show saw marked increases in sector representation, including a 15% rise in professional services, a 62% surge in telco and carrier, and an impressive 450% growth in attendees from the finance sector.

Conversations also heavily focused on how data centres are actively catalysing innovation on a global scale.

The event featured speakers from the world’s largest technology companies including Coreweave, Digital Realty, Google, Groq, Huawei, Microsoft, Meta, NVIDIA, NTT, Oracle, Schneider Electric, and Vertiv, among many others.

In a continued commitment to fostering diversity in digital infrastructure, techoraco ensured that more than 25% of its speaker roster comprised senior female leaders. The prestigious Cannes event also boasted a truly global representation, with attendees and speakers from over 65 countries.
