As we head towards the much anticipated proliferation of edge we’re seeing more and more M&A activity coming to the fore as organisations have to find budgets to fund projects, and ensure real return on investment assumptions for deployment.

Our expert panel will examine what level of risk investors are prepared to take, and what the key criteria are that funders are going to use when it comes to investment in the edge. Will partnerships with big global players help gain credibility with investors, along with the coverage needed to scale more easily? Will strong ESG criteria help to win investment? How many edge data centers do you need to deploy to make it economical? This panel will discuss who will pay for this huge infrastructure project and the economics behind making edge deployment a reality.
