Berlin, Germany 12–13 January 2027 Co-located with the 4th Data Centre Design, Engineering & Construction DACH Summit

Energy Efficiency and Emission Reduction

Hyperscalers, colocation providers, owners, operators, utilities, policymakers and technology leaders convene in Berlin to move Europe's data centre industry from Net Zero ambition to measurable, regulatory-grade implementation.

Now in its 4th edition — the leading forum for Germany's renewable electricity landscape, EnEfG compliance, AI-ready infrastructure and cooling innovation.
About the Event

Europe's transition to Net Zero digital infrastructure, in practical terms

Now in its fourth edition, the Net Zero Data Centre Summit Europe brings together the leaders shaping the future of sustainable digital infrastructure. Held in Berlin, Germany, the summit convenes senior executives from hyperscalers, colocation providers, data centre owners and operators, utilities, policymakers, investors and technology providers to address the industry's most pressing energy, sustainability and operational challenges.

Taking place at a defining moment for the European data centre market, the summit will explore the implications of Germany's 100% renewable electricity mandate, the next phase of the EnEfG energy efficiency requirements and the first EU sustainability labels for data centres. With the focus shifting from ambition to implementation, the event will deliver practical strategies for achieving regulatory compliance, operational excellence and measurable Net Zero outcomes.

Through keynote presentations, expert panel discussions, real-world case studies and high-level networking, delegates will gain actionable insights into renewable energy, power resilience, cooling innovation, AI-driven operations and the technologies shaping the next generation of resilient, efficient and future-ready data centres.
