Equinix – Virtual Roundtable (West)

Global developments such as the rise of nationalist parties around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, have raised questions around a potential retreat from globalisation and the return of protectionism by many countries. But far from turning away from globalization, Equinix’s survey shows business leaders are planning to invest heavily in their digital infrastructure to regain their footing in the wake of the pandemic and support expansions into new regions, countries, and cities over the next year.

Join Equinix in this virtual roundtable to discuss key angles from this year’s Global Tech Trends Survey such as:

• Businesses overwhelmingly see global expansion as critical to their success, despite recent geopolitical and economic trends suggesting a shift to deglobalization and nationalism.  

• Business leaders are planning to invest heavily in their digital infrastructure to support expansions into new regions, countries and cities over the next year.

• Business leaders are expanding albeit with concerns around cybersecurity and complying with data regulations.
