The massive build-outs of AI and fibre, marked improvements in IoT and robotics, increasing adoption of multi-cloud architectures, and expansion of Edge use cases are just some of the drivers fueling enormous demand for digital infrastructure. That should be good news for companies in telecom, cloud computing, data centers, semiconductors, and adjacent sectors, yet returns on digital assets have been decidedly mixed.
We can help. Our broad ecosystem experience, robust set of proprietary tools, and in-depth knowledge of local markets are just some of the factors that set us apart. We’ve worked with companies across the full spectrum of digital infrastructure, helping them stay out front as data is generated on more types of devices than ever, public cloud and software-as-a-service continue to proliferate, network delayering impacts infrastructure valuations and investment strategies, and rapid adoption of generative AI triggers exponential growth in data center energy consumption and heat generation. As a changing geopolitical environment challenges traditional assumptions, and as investors seek a hyper-tailored value creation playbook and a structured way to screen for emerging opportunities, our broad expertise in strategy, technology, and private equity ensures you have a partner who can help you make the right moves at the right time.

Implications by Sector
Key factors to consider:
- Power supply is the essential enabler, for new builds and extensions, inspiring a wave of partnerships and innovation for generation and storage.
- Hyperscalers are setting the tone, with the market for new builds dominated by a few large players.
- AI is disrupting both data center and chip design, and the advent of custom chips should solve many current challenges affecting energy efficiency, automated cooling, workload management, and predictive maintenance
Key factors to consider:
- For retail assets, attention shifts to the underserved now that scale overbuild is largely completed; alternative ground connectivity remains attractive, and LEO satellite connectivity is viable in certain circumstances.
- For B2B and wholesale segments, separation continues but opportunities remain; geopolitical pressures create the need for new international routes and data havens, while increasing demand for distributed AI computing makes high-speed data center connectivity essential.
Key factors to consider:
- The growth of mobile and surging data demand in emerging markets will fuel tower investment, with pure play companies in select regions offering promising investment opportunities.
- Telcos will monetize tower sites amid rising cost pressures and growth in shared tower infrastructure in both developing and mature markets.
- Opportunities are particularly promising in frontier markets with strong growth trajectories and recent market reforms
