M&S Forum to explore Cayman’s role in data financing
A virtual forum on September 10 and 17 will examine how the Cayman Islands and similar offshore jurisdictions might play a growing role in financing the rapidly expanding global data centre sector. The events, hosted by valuation firm Marshall & Stevens, will bring together financiers, developers, and infrastructure experts to explore investment flows, the role of Cayman-structures, and how features like family office-friendly regulation and offshore fund setups may offer more attractive financing options. Key topics include site selection driven by power and infrastructure needs, sustainable energy, evolving deal sizes, tax incentives, and non-traditional investors’ participation. While the forum highlights rising interest in these offshore structures, it emphasizes that Cayman’s position as a “pivotal financial hub” for data centres remains prospective rather than established.
