But before you get to know this year’s talented bunch, listen to Alderson sit down with Knight Frank head of EMEA and APAC data centres Stephen Beard to discuss all things data centres, following the agent’s report on how investment into the sector has boomed over H1 this year.

Beard outlines why investment into data centres is on the rise, where the hotspots are in Europe, and why he thinks that despite the asset class’ energy-guzzling reputation, data centres could actually be a “beacon” for sustainability.
