As artificial intelligence reshapes industries and economies at an unprecedented pace, a critical question emerges: does the infrastructure exist to power it? Data centers, digital networks, and advanced computing systems demand vast and reliable energy, forcing a fundamental rethink of how grids are built, financed, and secured for the future. This session will bring together global leaders from energy, multilateral financial institutions, and policy to examine how governments and the private sector can work together to build the physical foundations the digital economy demands. From pipeline networks to renewable integration, the conversation will explore what it takes to ensure that the infrastructure of yesterday is capable of powering the opportunities of tomorrow.
