Amplifying the event’s momentum, GDCC has formalized its partnership with Canada Data Centres’ Alliance (CDCA) as Ecosystem Partner, a national industry body dedicated to advancing the country’s data centre ecosystem. CDCA unites hyperscale operators, cloud providers, energy specialists, policymakers and technology innovators to collaborate on policy development and champion technologies such as hyperscale solutions and liquid cooling. Its mission is to ensure Canada’s data centres remain the foundation of a thriving digital economy by enabling sustainable, resilient infrastructure for industries ranging from smart cities and healthcare to finance, e‑commerce and government services. By bringing stakeholders together under a common vision, CDCA aims to position Canada as a global leader in digital infrastructure and empower cross‑sector digital transformation.
GDCC 2025 concluded with strong momentum. As Canada accelerates its digital transformation, the need for an annual forum where industry leaders can collaborate on infrastructure priorities is clear.
