A Tsumami of Letters: ESG & Regulatory Compliance
With new policy, legislation, and regulation demanding more sustainable infrastructure going forward, data center operators must now face the (often-daunting) task of complying with sustainability reporting requirements. Amid the ever-growing importance of environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) standards and the adoption of new regulations, such as the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), small data center operators in particular need to pay full attention to compliance. This segment will address what you need to do to prepare going forward.
Transforming Heat into Value
Data centers can be at the forefront of sustainable innovation through waste heat reuse: using the excess heat generated by servers into a valuable resource for nearby communities and industries. By doing so, data centers not only mitigate their environmental impact but also contribute positively to local energy ecosystems. What are the trends, specific challenges and, above all, opportunities for all involved?
Data Center Survey – Sweden Survey Insights
Join us during the announcement of the much-anticipated results of the Data Center Survey – Sweden. This collaborative effort by Datacenter Forum and EPI offers unparalleled insights into the trends and challenges of the local data center landscape. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable knowledge and network with industry peers.

Our live talk show with the people who are changing the face of the data center industry, hosted & moderated by Liselotte Lyngsø, Founder of Future Navigator.
In this episode:
Powering Sweden's Data Future
Data center markets across North America and mainland Europe increasingly face a significant challenge to growth and future investment: access to electricity. The Nordics have great connectivity with the rest of the world and – seemingly – room for growth to spare, ample space and plenty of renewable energy. How can Sweden in particular continue to capitalize on its competitive energy advantage and generate new investment opportunities in the coming years?
Guests include:
Andreas Espeving – Senior Key Account Manager, Vattenfall
Alberto Ravagni – CEO, Net Zero Innovation Hub for Data Centers
Dynamic Grid Support
How can data centers play an active role in stabilising the grid, while simultanously unlocking new revenue streams? A collaboration between colocation provider Conapto, Fever Energy and Vertiv might provide an answer.
Guests:
Jonatan Raber – Founder & CPO, Fever
Stefan Nilsson – Sales & Marketing Manager, Conapto
Investment Insights
The future of high-density AI compute
The data center industry is seeing new challenges that opens a window for new innovations and new solutions. We are in the midst of passing an inflection point in the area of computing. The boom of high-capacity and high-density GPU hardware is setting new requirements on power use and distribution as well as cooling and heat transfer of these GPU clusters. The solutions need to be designed for energy efficiency and recyclability of materials and heat.
Beyond Computing power: The Impact of Transceivers in modern Datacenter Architecture
Ever think about the role of transceivers in your AI/ML DC infrastructure? Transceivers serve as the backbone for rapid communication between data center components, ensuring that large datasets required for AI processing are transmitted quickly and efficiently. In the best of worlds this component should just work… But what if you nudge on the quality for better cost? Any thoughts of the impact?
