Hyperview CEO Jad Jebara explains how the conversation around EMEA data centres has shifted from economics to geopolitics. With 60% of global capacity concentrated in the US, export restrictions and frameworks like the US Cloud Act have made infrastructure placement a strategic necessity. Vendor selection and site planning must now prioritize jurisdictional control alongside cost—especially as AI embeds itself in critical sectors like healthcare and finance. Yet operators face a paradox: as density increases with advanced cooling and AI workloads, visibility often decreases through fragmented tools and incomplete data. Data centres are no longer purely technical facilities—they're strategic assets at the intersection of AI, industrial policy, and geopolitical reality. The infrastructure that survives will be the infrastructure that can demonstrate clear governance, control, and transparency.
