Canada’s data centre market is entering a defining period. Billions of dollars in new investment are being proposed, Alberta and Saskatchewan are challenging Ontario and Quebec’s traditional dominance, and demand for AI infrastructure is reshaping the commercial real estate landscape.
But turning ambitious plans into operating facilities is another matter. Developers are competing for land and electricity, investors are weighing enormous capital commitments, and municipalities are raising questions about the impact of these projects on their communities. Meanwhile, the industry must confront a fundamental question: who will occupy all this new space, and will the economics justify the investment?
Connect Data Centres & AI returns to Montreal to examine what’s actually getting built, who’s financing it, where development is heading and what’s standing in the way. Bringing together real estate developers, investors, lenders, operators, energy providers and industry leaders, the conference will explore the decisions shaping Canada’s next generation of data centres — and who stands to benefit.
