Data Centre Design Engineering & Construction Summit
Germany's rapidly evolving data centre market convenes senior decision-makers from hyperscalers, colocation providers, developers, investors, engineering firms, contractors and utilities to design, engineer and build the next generation of digital infrastructure.
Building Germany's Digital Backbone
Now in its latest edition, the DACH Data Centres Design, Engineering & Construction Summit brings together the professionals responsible for designing, engineering and constructing the next generation of digital infrastructure.
Held in Berlin, the summit convenes senior decision-makers from hyperscalers, colocation providers, developers, investors, engineering firms, contractors, utilities and technology providers to discuss the trends, opportunities and challenges shaping Germany's rapidly evolving data centre market.
As Europe's largest data centre market, Germany continues to experience strong growth driven by AI, cloud computing and digital transformation. With increasing demand for AI-ready infrastructure, the industry faces growing challenges around power availability, sustainability, regulatory compliance and delivering projects at greater speed and scale.
Through keynote presentations, expert panel discussions, technical case studies and networking opportunities, attendees will gain practical insights into the latest strategies, technologies and best practices for designing, engineering and constructing resilient, efficient and future-ready data centres.
Four Pillars of the Programme
Every session maps to one of four technical pillars — from first permit to disassembly, from planning through to legacy retrofit.
- Selecting and Securing Data Centre Sites
- Permitting Data Centres and Earning Consent
- Designing to the Next-Gen Rulebook
- Designing Cooling for 600 kW Racks
- Engineering Power Distribution Inside the Data Centre
- Designing Water-Smart, Heat-Ready Data Centres
- Cutting Embodied Carbon in Construction
- Managing the Data Centre Supply Chain
- Delivering Faster with Modular Construction
- Re-Engineering Legacy Data Centres
- Designing with Digital Twins and 3D Scans
- Future-Proofing Data Centre Designs

Insights From Past Delegates
What Delegates Say
The most technically substantive data centre event I've attended this year — the pillar structure meant every session was directly relevant to what we're building.
We closed two supplier conversations within the first networking break. The room is exactly who you'd hope it would be for a market this active.
A rare event where planning, engineering and construction teams are all in the same room, discussing the same regulatory pressure points.
Directly relevant to our retrofit programme — the digital twin and legacy facility sessions were the most useful hours of our quarter.
The EnEfG session gave us more practical clarity on PUE compliance and metering than three months of internal reviews had managed.
Smaller and more focused than the big industry expos, with the ability to speak directly to engineering leads rather than sales stands.
The 600kW rack and liquid cooling case studies were exactly the level of technical depth our engineering team needed to see.
Genuinely candid discussion on grid connection queues and permitting timelines — not the sanitised version you get at larger conferences.
Well organised, well timed, and full of the right people — we left with three concrete supplier conversations already in motion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about attending, sponsoring or speaking at the DACH Data Centre Design, Engineering & Construction Summit.
Now in its latest edition, the summit brings together the professionals responsible for designing, engineering and constructing the next generation of digital infrastructure. Held in Berlin on 12–13 January 2027, it convenes senior decision-makers from hyperscalers, colocation providers, developers, investors, engineering firms, contractors and utilities to discuss the trends, opportunities and challenges shaping Germany's rapidly evolving data centre market.
The summit is co-located with the 4th Net-Zero Data Centre Summit Europe, giving delegates access to both programmes across the two days.
You can complete your registration online by clicking Register Now and selecting the delegate package that best meets your requirements.
Alternatively, you can send your registration request directly to our team by email and we will guide you through the process.
