Data Centers, Power Demand and the New Infrastructure Race

Data centers are rapidly emerging as a major driver of industrial investment, with AI-driven expansion accelerating demand for power generation, cabling and industrial equipment. This session explores how these projects are reshaping logistics requirements, placing growing pressure on energy grids, water resources and materials supply chains across the Americas. As data centers become increasingly tied to critical infrastructure and government systems, speakers also examine the growing importance of infrastructure security, supply chain resilience and operational risk.
