The conversations that decide where capital flows next

Europe's digital infrastructure market is moving fast. AI demand is accelerating, data centre build is expanding, power is becoming a constraint, and capital is shifting in response. The Digital Infrastructure Investment Summit at Capacity Europe 2026 is where those decisions get made: a focused programme dedicated exclusively to digital infrastructure as an investment asset class, spanning data centres, fibre, energy and the connectivity layer that underpins them.

Set within Europe's largest connectivity and digital infrastructure conference, the Summit brings together the people allocating capital across the full infrastructure stack: senior decision-makers from private equity, institutional capital, LPs, GPs, investment banks, operators, developers and power providers, to examine how AI-driven demand is reshaping deal structures, financing models and risk profiles.

Designed for the investment community, it connects leading dealmakers navigating an increasingly competitive and complex digital infrastructure landscape, from London's finance houses to capital actively deploying into European markets. These are closed-door conversations that will only happen at the Digital Infrastructure Investment Summit.

Why this Summit exists

Capacity Europe has always been where deals are done. But the most important conversations are now happening earlier, at the point where capital is allocated. This is a focused forum for those decisions, not just how assets perform, but where capital should go next.

What makes it different

This is not a deeper dive into fibre, nor is it an operator-led discussion. The Fibre Investment Stage explores how fibre businesses create value; the Digital Infrastructure Investment Summit looks across the entire landscape to ask a different question: where should capital go next across fibre, data centres, energy and compute? It is about portfolio thinking, held in the heart of London's financial centre, bringing together dealmakers from across the infrastructure stack to shape the next phase of digital infrastructure growth.
