​About the Event

​Hosted as part of SF Climate Week 2026.

​The data center and energy infrastructure boom is reshaping global supply chains at a speed few anticipated. As AI drives unprecedented demand for compute, power, and physical infrastructure, the supply chains that support this buildout, spanning equipment manufacturing, semiconductor sourcing, energy development, and cross-border logistics, are under enormous pressure.

​This panel brings together practitioners, investors, and operators who are navigating these dynamics first-hand. Expect a candid conversation about what’s breaking, what’s working, and where the biggest opportunities lie across AI infrastructure, energy transition, and the US-Asia supply chain corridor.

​Why Attend?

​This event is open to anyone interested in the intersection of data centers, energy, and supply chain. Whether you’re a seasoned operator or just beginning to engage with these topics, you’ll get the most out of the evening if you’re curious about:

• ​How AI is reshaping demand for infrastructure -  and the supply chain implications that most coverage still underestimates.

• ​The energy bottleneck -  grid capacity, power procurement, and clean energy integration are slowing buildout in ways that aren’t going away soon.

• ​US–Asia trade dynamics -  how shifting tariffs, export controls, and geopolitical tensions are forcing companies to rethink where and how they source.

• ​Where capital is flowing -  which bets investors are making in data center infrastructure, energy, and the semiconductor supply chain.

• ​The collaboration opportunity -  the friction points and emerging models in US–Asia partnership, and what’s actually moving the needle.

​No matter where you sit in the ecosystem - infrastructure, finance, policy, engineering, or adjacent fields - this is a chance to hear directly from people making real decisions and to build connections that go beyond a business card exchange. Attendees will span operators, investors, founders, and professionals tracking these industries closely.

​Zenpack - A Packaging Company Built for People. We noticed a gap in custom packaging companies: Clients were forced to hire separate designers and packaging manufacturing companies to create their packaging. They were losing valuable time due to communication inefficiencies and nonviable design plans. Ultimately, their bottom line was suffering. So we established a comprehensive custom packaging company to manage everything from design and structural engineering to fulfillment. When you work with us, you’re getting our team of expert advisors on your project, but more than that, at our packaging solutions company, you’re getting peace of mind and confidence in your entire packaging strategy from start to finish.
