SUMMARY:GPU Financing
DESCRIPTION:\nWorkshop Organiser:\nBird & Bird advises businesses worldwide on technology, digital transformation and innovation. The firm is renowned for its expertise in project finance and investment transactions, helping clients finance, develop and scale innovative technology ventures. With an international network, Bird & Bird supports clients in achieving growth, navigating transformation and managing cross-border projects.\nWorkshop Host:\nDr. Michael Jünemann ist seit 2002 als Rechtsanwalt in Deutschland zugelassen. Er begann seine berufliche Laufbahn 2001 bei Lang Michener LLP und wechselte 2002 zu Gleiss Lutz, bevor er von 2003 bis 2005 als Forschungsassistent an der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz tätig war. Von 2005 bis 2010 war er Rechtsanwalt bei Mayer Brown, wo er auch ein Secondment bei Hudson Advisors Germany GmbH absolvierte, die als Servicer für die Lone Star Funds tätig ist (Oktober 2008 – August 2009). Seit 2010 ist Dr. Jünemann Partner bei Bird & Bird LLP. Zusätzlich ist er seit August 2018 Mitglied des Advisory Board von fintech-ho2020.eu.\nAls Co-Head der globalen Finance & Financial Regulation Praxisgruppen und Leiter der deutschen Finance & Financial Regulation Praxisgruppe berät er in den Bereichen des nationalen und internationalen Finanz- und Kapitalmarktrechts sowie im Wirtschafts- und Gesellschaftsrecht. Zudem ist er  Mitglied der internationalen Steuerungsgruppe unserer Sektorgruppe Finanzdienstleistungen.\nInhalt des Workshops:\n·  AI infrastructure is driving massive investment: Demand for GPUs and data centers is surging, with forecasts of up to USD 2.9 trillion in AI infrastructure investment by 2028.\n·  SPVs enable off-balance-sheet financing: Companies use special purpose vehicles (SPVs) to own and finance data centers and GPUs, allowing AI firms to access infrastructure without adding significant debt to their balance sheets.\n·  GPUs are becoming a financing asset class: Instead of just being computing hardware, GPUs are increasingly leased, pledged as collateral, or included in securitizations to raise capital.\n·  Tokenization is an emerging financing model: GPUs can be tokenized and used as collateral in blockchain-based lending, but legal recognition remains limited in the EU, creating regulatory uncertainty.\n·  Key legal considerations: GPU financing depends on ownership, insolvency, and regulatory rules in the relevant jurisdictions. In Germany, issues include title to GPUs, insolvency protection, financial leasing regulation, and compliance with EU securitization and securities laws.\n
