Not everyone is talking about renewals at this year's RendezVous - ri3k's chief executive Alex Letts is hunting for a new business partner.

Letts said that ri3k has been building data hubs all over the world, with his company providing the technology, and handing the operation over to a third-party.

"We have got an operator for our North American life hub and we are in talks with companies about Japan, Asia and Bermuda, but we have not found the right operator for Europe," he said.

"What we are looking for is a credible, well resourced third-party. This will allow us to focus on building the technology."

Letts said that he has found three potential parties that he is in talks with at RendezVous.
