MIPIM, the international real estate trade show, is responding to increased interest in the data center sector from real estate investors by opening the Infrastructure Stage for the first time in 2023.

MIPIM 2023 with dedicated Infrastructure Stage for the first time

Due to the increasing demand for digital infrastructure, many new data centers have been built worldwide in recent years, and market growth continues unabated. As a result, data centers are increasingly becoming the focus of real estate investors, and a new asset class has become firmly established.

MIPIM - 14 – 17 March 2023, Cannes, France

Founded in 1990, the four-day event brings together influential players from all sectors of the international real estate industry every year. As a trade show and networking platform, MIPIM acts as a catalyst for concrete solutions, face-to-face discussions and development opportunities in the real estate world.

Under the theme "Better Places - Greater Impact - Stronger Business," the conference program in 2023 focuses on ESG, innovation and technology solutions that can accelerate the transformation of the built environment towards a more sustainable model.

For the first time in 2023, the Infrastructure Stage has been created to facilitate discussions and presentations on how data centers are influencing trends and developments in the real estate market. It's a development that the German Datacenter Association supports as the event's Media Partner.

Data centres: How can they be more sustainable in construction?

16 March 2023, 2 pm – Infrastructure Stage @ MIPIM, Cannes

With the goal of CO2-neutral data centers by 2030 in mind, GDA Chairwoman Anna Klaft talks to a panel of experts at MIPIM's Infrastructure Stage about how data centers can become more sustainable - both in terms of operations and construction.

Starting with what environmental impact data centers currently have, she discusses ways to reduce emissions with Stewart Britton, Christina Mertens, Logan Smith and Kirill Zavodov. Another topic is building data centers on brownfield sites, the benefits of conversion, and what can be done to overcome the barriers to doing so. Finally, they evaluate the importance of prefabrication and off-site manufacturing to cost-effectively reduce carbon emissions, as well as the use of quantifiable measurement techniques to determine success.
