ITW Asia 2026

Roundtable topics include:  

Table 1: Where will AI demand hit the network first - and where do we need capacity next? 

What do cloud and AI platforms really expect from network partners beyond basic capacity? Where are carriers meeting those needs – and where are they falling short?  

(hyperscalers, carriers, fibre and interconnection providers, data centres) 

Table 2: What hyperscalers actually need from Asian carriers 

What do hyperscalers require from regional operators to support AI and cloud growth, and how should carriers evolve their offerings to stay relevant in that partnership model?  

(hyperscalers, telcos, wholesalers, DC operators) 

Table 3: How do you build for AI without overbuilding?  

With AI demand accelerating but still uncertain, how are operators planning for growth without misallocating capital or locking in excess capacity?  

(network planners, infrastructure operators, telcos, data centres) 

Table 4: Power, land and permitting: What slows rollout most?  

What are the biggest bottlenecks to deploying infrastructure at scale across Asia, and which constraints are having the greatest impact on timelines and investment decisions?  

(towercos, DCOs, regulators, infrastructure platforms)
