The AI boom is already reshaping the kind of infrastructure we need to underpin communications and digital life. But now there is already talk of a ‘post-digital’ world and even a ‘post-AI’ world, with technologies such as quantum networking, satellite data centres and 6G already on the commercial horizon.

These new technologies, and the usage they drive, will require significant changes to global digital infrastructure, just as AI does. This creates opportunities for investors and operators to get ahead of the curve and monetise a new generation of infrastructure. However, it also creates dilemmas and risks for the current owners of data centres and networks.

Join our experts in this webinar as they discuss the following questions.

  • What are the most important technology trends that communications infrastructure investors need to understand in 2026?
  • Will quantum computing, next-generation AI and 6G require significant changes to underlying infrastructure?
  • Do the opportunities of moving into next-generation infrastructure outweigh the costs and risks for investors and operators?
  • How can investors and operators future-proof infrastructure that they are building out today?
  • Will the quest for a fully intelligent, autonomous and sustainable network shake up the value chain and make new partnerships essential?
  • How can communications infrastructure investors find opportunities, manage risks and make confident decisions in this changing landscape?
