About P2C Summit

Power2Compute Summit is the executive platform dedicated to the infrastructure that makes AI possible. Focused on compute capacity, energy systems, power generation, cooling innovation, capital strategy, and hyperscale data center development, the summit addresses the physical foundations of the AI economy. As AI adoption accelerates globally, the constraint has moved beyond software. The real challenge is infrastructure securing reliable power, enabling high-density compute, and financing giga-scale deployments at speed.

The question is no longer how intelligent AI can become, but how quickly the infrastructure behind it can scale. Power2Compute Summit convenes the leaders shaping this transition: governments, hyperscalers, utilities, institutional investors, data center operators, and infrastructure technology providers. Through strategic dialogue, market-critical intelligence, and execution-focused engagement, the summit drives alignment across the ecosystem turning strategy into capacity and ambition into operational reality.

What Sets Us Apart?

Power2Compute brings together the entire ecosystem behind AI infrastructure energy providers, hyperscalers, data centre developers, investors, and governments to address the biggest constraint of the AI era: scalable power and compute capacity.

Testimonials

"It was a great experience to see such a diverse group of stakeholders, vendors, and organizational representatives come together, not just to discuss AI and digital transformation, but to actively showcase how they’re implementing it. What stood out most is the strategic, multi-layered approach being taken across different sectors, working in parallel to support the broader country's economy. It’s encouraging to see a continued emphasis on digital innovation while ensuring the human element remains at the heart of it all."

"I really enjoyed the discussions and the high caliber of attendees at the event. It opened my mind to fresh perspectives and made for a very positive experience overall. One key takeaway for me was the need to further clarify and promote the concept of sovereign cloud, its different levels of sovereignty must be better understood across the ecosystem. Events like this are vital because digital transformation is done by people, for people. They create the space for collaboration, connection, and real progress. Without them, we’d just be stuck in neutral."

"It was a wonderful experience participating in the summit. The event brought together insightful and inspiring speakers from across industries, each sharing practical experiences around digital transformation. The networking was especially valuable, I had meaningful conversations around cybersecurity, cost challenges, and emerging technologies. It’s clear that the nation is positioning itself as a global hub for AI and digital leadership, and this summit served as a powerful platform to exchange ideas aligned with that vision. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to stay ahead in the digital space."

Overall, it was a beneficial and positive experience. We found that the data center market in Saudi Arabia is booming, with a growing demand for AI-specific data centers, and we’re ready to deliver them. While the extreme heat presents a challenge, we are prepared for it and look forward to entering the market as designers, subcontractors, and technical experts, seeking a trusted partner to collaborate with. We are confident it was a valuable event and plan to return next year.

The event was excellently organized, providing a great platform to meet new customers and discuss the latest in cooling technologies, particularly for AI applications. The focus on the region's unique cooling challenges, especially in Saudi Arabia, highlighted the need for innovative solutions like direct liquid cooling to handle growing heat dissipation demands. The smaller, more focused nature of the event allowed for better networking and deeper discussions, which participants found invaluable for future collaborations.

At the Data Center Xpo, experts discussed the importance of data centers, highlighting technologies like cooling, buildings, and hybrids. A key focus was the correlation between artificial intelligence, large-scale computational power, and the energy and cooling needs of data centers. The growing demand for hyperscale infrastructure now requires gigawatt-level power, which changes the industry's foundational requirements.

The summit effectively addressed key challenges in supporting AI workloads with data centers, showcasing innovative solutions for power and heat management. It provided valuable networking opportunities, fostering collaboration among both familiar and new industry contacts. Additionally, the focus on regional and global cloud computing integration highlighted the summit's relevance for future tech growth.
