Investors look to find new opportunities across edge-tech players at new London summit

Data Economy, a BroadGroup brand and the world's only 24/7 media resource for data centres, cloud and Edge, is announcing the launch of the inaugural Global Investment Summit & Awards due to take place in London on February 12, 2019.

An anticipated 300+ international delegates are expected to descend on the British capital for what will be a day full of networking, deal making and ideas generation.

The summit brings together the strategic and financial leadership of data centre, cloud, AI, VR, IoT, Blockchain, Crypto Mining, Towers and Edge firms with private equity specialists, financiers, industry investors, REITs, professional transactional and advisory firms, and government agencies.

With M&A activity continuing to break records year after year and market innovation occurring at speed, the event is timelier than ever.

The summit will include an Awards evening to celebrate investment leaders across the expanding sector.

Nominations for the awards will open soon. An expert panel of Judges has been appointed which includes senior executives from BNP Paribas Corporate & Institutional Banking, RBC Capital Markets, Wells Fargo Securities, International Finance Corporation, McCarthy Denning, Digital Realty, CINT, Permira Advisers LLP and Keppel T&T.

“We perceive a market gap in focusing on investment in new edge-tech players and services that will proliferate over the next five years,” said Jo?o Marques Lima, founder and editor-in-chief of Data Economy. “Driven by these new technologies, this annual global summit is building something very new and special for the investment sector.”

“The new summit signals the rapid growth ahead in edge-tech for investors and financiers,” said Philip Low, chairman of BroadGroup. “It will contribute a completely new annual forum for current and new investors and their customers to meet, collaborate and partner.”
