Launched in 2019, Capacity’s Power 100 has become the most recognised benchmark of influence across the digital infrastructure community. The scope of the Power 100 has always reflected just how sprawling the ecosystem has become.

Nominations are accepted from carriers, vendors, service providers, data centres, internet exchanges, satellite operators, subsea cable owners, tower companies, and increasingly from hyperscalers and private equity investors whose decisions are now inseparable from the industry’s trajectory.

The only hard requirement is that nominees are actively contributing to the digital infrastructure space and can point to significant, verifiable achievements. Prestige alone will not carry a submission – the editorial team wants specifics.

How to make your nomination count

Capacity’s editorial team selects the final 100 on merit, not on the volume of entries received for any individual. Submitting multiple nominations for the same person will not improve their chances. What will make a difference is a clear, specific account of why your nominee belongs on the list.

Entrants are asked to write in full sentences, avoid repetition, and back up their claims with real-world examples.

The final Power 100 will be revealed in the May issue of Capacity Magazine. Check out Capacity’s round up of the most influential people of 2025 here.

Please note the submission rules:

1. Entries are selected by the Capacity Editorial team based on the merit of each submission, not on the number of nominations. Please only submit one entry per person.
2. Please do not copy and paste entries. The team sees all submissions and will know if the same form has been submitted by multiple people, which will affect your chances of being selected.
3. Try not to be repetitive. If it will not add value to your submission, please don’t include it.
4. Substantiate your claims. Demonstrate how amazing your nominee is with noteworthy real-life examples.
5. Please write in full sentences with clear, concise English.
6. Entries sent after the close of the deadline, or those submitted by email, will not be accepted.

The deadline for nominations is Monday, 6th April 2026, 5 pm BST. Due to production deadlines, no extensions will be given!
