Listen "How to fund the data-center boom?"
Episode Synopsis
Throughout this special series, we’ve been exploring what happens to business and society when people try to do things differently. But without the funding to pay for that change, real progress can stall. In this episode, we’ll look at the way projects are financed and how it’s unlocking innovation and new partnerships across industries. Hosts Femi Oke and Lizzie O’Leary are following the money into the world of data centers—massive investments requiring trillions of dollars—to uncover how this backbone of our digital lives is built and paid for. We’ll hear from Udhay Mathialagan, Managing Partner in Brookfield’s Infrastructure Group and the CEO of their Global Data Center Group, about why the company’s focusing on the infrastructure that runs AI systems. Plus: Eric Janson, Global Private Equity and Principal Investors Leader, PwC US, helps us dig into creative financing models, the evolving role of financial services, and why capital is the quiet force reshaping entire industries.
