New content area: AI Factories & Datacenters, plus a fall batch of orgs, events, and explainers

Summary

content-areas gains its first new area since August 2025: AI-Factories-Datacenters . Separately, the main collections pick up a large batch of organizations, explainers, market categories, events, and tools.

Why Care?

AI factories and datacenters have become a supply chain of their own. Power, cooling, grid interconnects, construction, colocation, and financing now each have their own operators and their own constraints. A dedicated content area lets us map that stack the way we already map Blue Economy and Finance, instead of scattering it across concepts/ and organizations/ .
