METATRENDS FOR THE 2020s
Waves of exponential
technological growth driven
by 3 main Metatrends
3. 3
1. Global gigabit
connectivity
The deployment of 5G, plus the launch of
a multitude of global satellite networks
(Starlink, OneWeb, etc.) will connect
everyone and everything, everywhere, at
ultra-low cost.
42,000 satellites to be deployed in
the 2020s. Starlink is targeting
service in the Northern U.S. and
Canada in 2020.
FIRST METATREND
4. 4
2. Internet of
Things (“IOT”)
From package delivery, surveillance, planting
trees to construction sites. Drones and the
Internet of Things is effecting every industry.
Connecting all these devices is possible over
a global gigabit network (5G).
This Metatrend is including Smart Cities,
Wearables, autonomous vehicles, Industrial
Internet of Things (“IIOT”) and many more
smart devices with an internet connection.
The market for droned package
delivery itself is expected to grow to
$27.4 billion by 2030. Not including
other drone markets.
SECOND METATREND
The IOT is enabling Machine to
Machine (“M2M”) business models.
Leveraging distributed ledger
technologies (“DLT”).
5. 5
3. A.I. applications
Computer Vision, Natural Language
Processing (“NLP”) are two examples
of Machine Learning applications.
Enabling Augmented Workplaces, AI-
Human Collaboration and personal
assistance software shells.
Machine learning is the base for
A p p l e ’s F a c e I D , t h e C h i n e s e
surveillance system to monitor
construction sites, as well as Amazon
Alexa and Google Home.
THIRD METATREND
A.I. applications are mostly heavily
depending on computational
power to store and process large
amounts of data.
6. The world needs more
Digital Infrastructure for enabling
the tech Metatrends.
7. Global Internet
Infrastructure
The Metatrends of the 2020s are depending
on an effective Global Internet Infrastructure
consisting of:
• Network - Global gigabit connections with
protocols like 5G.
• Devices - Internet of Things enabled
devices, Autonomous Vehicles, Wearables
and Smart Phones.
• Software - A.I. applications based on
machine learning.
The demand for digital infrastructure is
growing rapidly causing high growth rates for
data centers and infrastructure industry.
NEW SPHERES
8. The global data center construction market might be
worth up to $57B by 2025.1 Major market segments:
1. Public Cloud. Companies like AWS, Microsoft,
Google, IBM and e.g. Tencent are offering cloud
infrastructure as a services.
2. Colocation. Facilities in which a business can
rent space.
3. Telco/Edge. These are smaller data center which
are close to the end-customer. Demand driven by
the Internet of Things (5G).
4. HPC. High-Performance Computing (“HPC”)
data center specialised to solve computational
problems as fast as possible by running
thousands of computers in parallel.

Data Center
Market Market size 2019 Estimation 2025
Public Cloud $27.5B ~ $700B
Colocation $63B ~ $100B
Telco/Edge < $1B ~ $16B
HPC < $1B ~ 44B
CONSTURUCTION BOOM
9. The HPC market five-year forecast increases up to $44
Billion worldwide.1
1. Artificial Intelligence. The amount of data generated
daily in all industries combined with the demand
processing the data is growing dramatically.
2. Renderings. 3D renderings, video renderings and
other media related applications are growing e.g.
Hollywood movies.
3. Crypto Mining. No Blockchains without Crypto Miners.
The Hash War is increasing the demand for reliable
HPC data center.

“HPC”

Access to cheap and reliable energy
sources is key for a successful HPC
data center.
Energy intensive facilities as the
computers are running continuously on
maximum capacity.
10. The search for the
right location
HPC locations
Most of the planet is not suitable for large scale HPC data
center. Key success factors are:
1. Abundance of energy. Hydropower is the best
available source for a large amount of constant, cheap
and sustainable energy.
2. Climate conditions. Cooler climate zones are offering
the best conditions for energy demanding operations.
3. Connectivity. Close proximity to urban areas is still a
key criteria for low network latency. (This might change
with near orbit satellite systems. Allowing to build
further north.)
11. The search for HPC locations
with abundance of energy
in cool climate zones with
existing fiber networks.
12. Why North America
matters
Canada is known worldwide for its natural resource industries
including hydropower and is thus considered a hydro
superpower. Three of the largest Generating Stations are:
1. WAC Bennett Dam. Producing 2,876 MW p.a. It is
world’s highest earth-filled dams and largest dam in
Canada.
2. Robert-Bourassa. Producing 7,722 MW p.a. Canada's
largest hydro project, the world's ninth largest hydro
project, and the world's largest underground generating
station.
3. Churchill Falls. Producing 5,428 MW p.a. It is the tenth
largest dam in the world, and the second-largest in
Canada.
As that huge amount of power can not be consumed within
the provinces a large amount is exported to the the US.
CANADA
East Canada with Quebec is currently
becoming the next Iceland and a data
center mega hub.
Abundant rain and snowfall allow for
uninterrupted, clean and efficient
hydropower at some of the most
competitive rates in the world.
13. Why construct Data Center
in Canada?
The Big Land offers perfect conditions for data center
consuming large amounts of energy. Key reasons:
1. Low power rates.
2. Enormous amount of capacity.
3. Cool climate.
4. Fiber networks
5. Skilled workforces and existing infrastructure.
IntelliCapital strategically selected East Canada for the
companies’ data centers due to the perfect conditions.
EAST CANADA
One of the current major HPC
applications is Crypto Mining for
Bitcoin and other crypto currencies.
IntelliCapital is in the process of
planing and constructing the first HPC
data center with 50MW capacity.

Crypto Mining
Crypto Mining companies are responsible to keep
the Bitcoin network up and running by constantly
solving cryptographic problems to secure and
validate the transactions. Participants of Crypto
Mining operation are getting a leverage on the
bitcoin prices and discount on the current bitcoin
exchange rates.
Key success factors for a profitable operation are:
1. Energy costs. It is the highest incentive for
Crypto Mining companies to source energy as
cheap as possible. Hydropower is the most
efficient and most sustainable solution.
2. Climate conditions. As the computer devices
are producing a lot of heat only cool climate
zones are offering sustainable profits.
3. Economies of scale. Only industrial-grade
operations levering hyper scale data center are
profitable after the next halving events.
The upcoming Bitcoin halving event is
reducing the mining reward from 12.5
to 6.25 bitcoin per block. Only
industrial-grade operations like
IntelliCapital will be able to keep
mining.
ASSET CLASS Crypto Mining is a highly profitable
asset class wich allows crypto
exposure without the need of touching
crypto currencies itself.
