What it is
A market intelligence platform tracking data center projects worldwide, from the earliest land rumors and grid signals through permitting, design, tendering, construction, commissioning, and operation. Every record carries verified investment values, MW capacity, timelines, stakeholders, tenders, and decision-maker contacts.
Colocation providers, hyperscalers, contractors and power and cooling vendors use it to see campuses before planning filings go public, time bids to the procurement window, and follow a site through each phase of its build.
Coverage begins before announcement, with land and power purchase agreements, utility load requests, tax abatement applications and code-named planning filings read in the local language by the analyst assigned to that market.
Developer, hyperscale tenant where disclosed, general contractor, electrical and mechanical contractors, and power and cooling equipment suppliers are mapped to each campus with verified contacts.
Each campus carries its stage, from land acquisition and power allocation through construction to phased energisation, and an alert fires when a campus on your watchlist changes stage.
Capacity figures, power agreements and contract awards are each reconciled against two independent sources, cited, and dated with when they were last verified, so the basis can be checked before a bid team is committed.

Where the tracked pipeline actually sits. Counts come straight from the live database and are compared against the busiest region, not against a total: the regions overlap, so they are never added together.
Bars are scaled to the busiest region. A project in a country belonging to more than one grouping is counted in each, so these figures are not additive.
Market intelligence
Of the 4,916 upcoming data center projects tracked, 30% are at contract award, pre-construction or under construction, 65% are in study, planning or design and 5% have only been announced. Planning is the largest single stage, with 2,874 projects.
North America holds the most tracked projects, 2,448 or 50% of the pipeline, followed by Europe (1,234) and Asia-Pacific (858).
By announced investment, North America leads with $6.24 trillion and also has the largest average ticket, $2.5 billion per project.
Construction is furthest along in the Middle East, where 55% of tracked projects are past contract award, compared with 26% in Africa.
