Finance and Investment Forum for Datacentres & Cloud 2011

The 5th Finance and Investment Forum for Data Centres is set to generate new ideas, insights and benchmarks for the sector.

First held at the Cass Business School, London, November 2007, the event is attended by the strategic and financial leadership of publicly quoted and private companies engaged in the Data Centre sector, FIF is the premier conference for financiers, investors, private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, property specialists, legal advisors, technology owners and professional intermediaries.

This year's programme will hear from operators and experts from North America, Europe and Asia who will engage in a robust debate that confronts the many challenges evolving in a shifting data centre market focused on delivering exceptional value for enterprises.

The theme of this year's event: the Data centre capital lifecycle from early stage finance through to IPO, growth vectors and M&A. New data centre funds are continuing to be announced, investment is increasing, investment agencies are actively competing for data centre location recognition and the outlook appears to be sustained despite current conditions in financial markets.
