Gerson Lehrman Group, Inc. (GLG), a leading global platform for trusted insights, will host a free webinar on "Business Opportunities for Japanese Companies in the Data Center Value Chain" on July 23 (Thu) at 11 AM, featuring Robert Breynaert, former business executive at Equinix and Microsoft.

Details & Registration: https://ter.li/oue0iix3

Event Overview

With the explosive growth of AI, demand for data centers supporting vast computational resources and power is rapidly expanding. Consequently, demand for specialized power distribution systems and advanced thermal management (cooling) systems is also at an unprecedented scale. While regional power supply constraints and strict procurement standards by hyperscalers present significant challenges, they also offer an opportunity for domestic equipment and component manufacturers to secure important positions within the evolving supply chain and capture high-value business opportunities.

This webinar will organize opportunities for value creation in the global AI data center value chain and explain the strategies and specific approaches Japanese companies should take to enhance their competitiveness.

Presentation Content

Changes in data center infrastructure and market trends brought about by AI evolution

Investment trends of hyperscalers, procurement standards, and supplier evaluation realities

Ecosystem challenges and future outlook in power, cooling, optical communications, EPC, etc.

Untapped market opportunities and differentiation areas where Japanese companies can add value

Strategies and action plans that companies should prioritize over the next 6-12 months

Recommended for:

Business development and strategy managers considering entry opportunities into the AI infrastructure and data center markets

Those considering collaboration opportunities with data center-related players and entry into the supply chain

Those engaged in business feasibility evaluation and market opportunity exploration for new markets

Those evaluating investment opportunities in AI infrastructure, data centers, power, and telecommunications-related fields, etc.
