In this episode Emile Chalouhi, CEO of Opiquad discusses the opportunities for sustainable data centres in municipalities across Europe. He talks about the demand for edge data centres to drive digitalisation in these smaller communities and bring the benefits of the digital economy to citizens and businesses wherever they are located. Climate neutral data centres can act as hubs for digital investment and progress, and so municipalities are keen to attract them to develop skills, careers and opportunities that help sustain their towns.

Antti Laine joined the board of the CNDCP in June. He brings a wealth of experience from his role with the Finnish Data Center Association. In this podcast we talk about energy efficiency, sustainability, sustainable construction, education and the need to attract a younger and more diverse workforce into the sector. Antti also describes the value that the Pact brings to national associations such as the FDCA by sharing international best practices for climate neutrality.

This month on the CNDCP podcast we speak to Eric Lisica, COO of Kevlinx, a new entrant to the data centre sector building cutting edge data centres in under-served markets across Europe. Eric discusses the vital role of sustainability and the advantages of building module designs that integrate climate goals from the outset. He emphasises the need for collaboration between industries and authorities to drive sustainable growth, and the importance of education and sharing best practices – one of the significant benefits delivered by the Pact.
