Datacenter Changemakers Denmark
Episode 1
Back in Copenhagen is Datacenter Changemakers Denmark, our live talk shows with the people who are changing the face of the data center industry. The most pressing issues facing the digital infrastructure sector will be discussed.
In this episode:
Power Struggle: The Role of Data Centers in Denmark's Energy Future
As energy – from a supply, distribution, and security standpoint – has become a national concern, data centers are emerging as both a challenge – especially in Denmark – and perhaps also a solution. How should the surge in grid access requests be resolved, and how can data centers contribute to grid stability, load balancing, and heat reuse, while managing their growing electricity demand?
Guests include:
John Booth – Consultant, Carbon3IT Ltd
Anders Christian Krüth Overvad – Chief economist, IDA
Hosted & moderated by Liselotte Lyngsø, founder of Future Navigator.
With:
Andrei Soloviev – Sales Manager Nordic-Baltic, Victaulic
How Do We Accelerate Decarbonization?
This updated presentation, reflecting a lot of new tests, is our response to the Net Zero Data Centers RFI, which is focused on identifying innovative, sustainable, and scalable backup power solutions to support the future of digital infrastructure.
Nordic Data Centers in a Global Context: Trends, Challenges, and Comparisons
The Nordic data center industry is evolving rapidly, shaped by sustainability initiatives, AI-driven demands, and workforce shortages. This session presents key findings from the latest industry survey, comparing trends in the Nordics with other global markets. We will explore how the region stands out in areas like energy efficiency and regulation, while also addressing challenges shared with the rest of the world.
Join us for a data-driven discussion on the future of data centers in the Nordics and beyond.
Built on Modular DNA, Designed for Future Scale: Leadership Datacenter’s HyperFrame™ & ePOD Approach
Presented by Holger Zultner (Managing Director) and Mathias Köster (Lead of POD Solutions).
Air Cooling in the Age of AI: Limits, Options, Reality and Outlook
AI workloads are driving higher power densities and fundamentally changing the requirements for air cooling in data centers. Operators and designers are increasingly facing uncertainty: Is air cooling still sufficient? How much airflow is realistically achievable? And how do rising loads and changing operating profiles affect cooling concepts in both greenfield and brownfield projects? This uncertainty is clearly reflected in daily project work through a growing number of design iterations, system comparisons, and operating point evaluations.
This presentation explains how AI is actually impacting air cooling in data centers, where the real technical and building-related limits are, and which room-based air cooling concepts are viable today. It also places liquid cooling in context, showing why air cooling remains essential for handling residual heat, infrastructure layout, and space utilization. Based on a real project example, the session demonstrates how cooling concepts can be selected in a structured and practical way, taking into account building constraints, available space, CAPEX, OPEX, and carbon footprint. It shows why air cooling remains a core element of modern data center design, even in the age of AI.
AI-Driven Data Centers: Trends, Challenges and Thermal Management Strategies
The rapid acceleration of AI is reshaping data center design and creating new demands on thermal management strategies. Higher rack densities, increasing power requirements, shorter deployment timelines, and sustainability goals are driving a shift toward liquid cooling and more modular infrastructure approaches. This session will explore the trends transforming the industry, the challenges data center operators must address, and how cooling technologies are evolving to support the next generation of AI-ready facilities.

Episode 2
Datacenter Changemakers Denmark is our live talk show with the people who are changing the face of the data center industry. The most pressing issues facing the digital infrastructure sector will be discussed.
In this episode:
A Sovereign & Secure Denmark
As geopolitical tensions rise and data becomes increasingly valuable, industry leaders and policymakers must determine how Europe can stay secure and achieve digital sovereignty. What are the crucial steps that must be taken to ensure Danish and European data stays secure and accessible? What are the practical challenges of reducing dependency on foreign tech giants while maintaining service quality for end-users, and how can new regulations and investments shape the future of Europe's digital autonomy?
Guests include:
Signe Ravn-Højgaard – Direktor & co-founder, Digital Infrastructure Think Tank
Beyond Net Zero: Carbon Capture in the Data Center Industry
In the race in getting carbon neutral – or even negative – carbon capture is the new frontier. How far along is this technology, what are the technical challenges in implementing it at data centers, and what to do with the captured carbon? We'll explore the viability as a business case.
Guests include:
Carl Ove Larsen – Senior Market Director, Søren Jensen engineering, board member DDI
Supercomputing the Future: AI, GEFION & the Nvidia Revolution
From Denmark's cutting-edge GEFION supercomputer to Nvidia's pivotal role in powering the AI boom, we’ll explore how high-performance computing is reshaping science, industry, and innovation.
Guests include:
Christian Binow Lassen – Solution Architecture at NVIDIA for Healthcare / Life Sciences & Scientific Computing, Nvidia
Beyond Batteries: The Missing Piece of Data Center Energy Storage
How is energy storage improving data center flexibility and efficiency? This talk introduces the role of different storage solutions in the sector, followed by a real-world example from an innovative thermal battery at the La-Flex project, where a thermal battery has recently been installed at DTU Risø Campus in Denmark.
