TecEx | Mind the Gap: Navigating Cross-Border Export Controls for Seamless Data Center Offshoring

By Noa Sussman, Director of Global Solutions, TECEX

The global data center market is poised for transformative growth, driven by the surging demand for cloud services, edge computing, and digital transformation. However, the ability to seize tailwind opportunities hinges on one crucial factor: the proactive management of significant headwinds—such as regulatory challenges, sustainability concerns, and infrastructure limitations—that, if left unaddressed, could severely undermine growth potential and inflate trade compliance costs. This paper explores these dynamic forces and underscores the critical role of crossborder export and import controls in shaping effective expansion strategies and ensuring long-term success.

“Expanding global data centers is a complex endeavor that requires careful consideration of both the challenges and opportunities presented by headwinds, tailwinds, and cross-border export and import controls. By understanding these factors and developing strategies to navigate them, data center operators can position themselves for sustained growth and success in an increasingly competitive global market.”
