>> If you want to understand where AI is heading next, look at where the energy is being built.
And increasingly, that means looking at Asia.
AI is often treated as a software race.
Better models.
More GPUs.
More agents.
More automation.
But every one of those systems ultimately depends on physical infrastructure.
Power generation.
Transmission.
Cooling.
Data centres.
Gas.
LNG.
Renewables.
Storage.
That makes the intersection between AI and energy one of the most important investment stories of the next decade.
And it is one reason Bangkok will be an interesting place to be this September.
At Gastech Exhibition & Conference 2026, the global energy ecosystem comes together alongside AixEnergy, connecting the companies building AI infrastructure with the organisations powering it.
For technology executives, that creates something increasingly valuable:
A chance to see the AI economy from below the software layer.
To meet the utilities, infrastructure providers, investors, operators and technology companies that will determine how quickly AI can actually scale.
We spend enormous amounts of time discussing which model wins.
We may need to spend more time asking:
Who can supply the infrastructure behind it?
Join the conversation at Gastech 2026 in Bangkok, 14 to 17 September.

The next AI race will not only be about intelligence.
It will be about who can build the system underneath it.
