Shaping the AI wave: Datacenters and the race for sustainable scale
Join us for a forward-looking conversation on scaling AI sustainably and reliably, from resource constraints to innovations in cooling and energy.

AI workloads are exploding, and datacenter footprints are accelerating across every major region. Behind this growth sits an unprecedented demand for energy, water, land, and grid capacity, pushing digital infrastructure to historic limits. Communities are calling for cleaner development, utilities face mounting interconnection bottlenecks, and operators must reinvent how they design, power, and cool facilities at extreme density.
Can the AI era scale without compromising climate goals ?
Join us for a candid, forward‑looking conversation on how to scale the AI era sustainably and reliably. From resource constraints to breakthrough cooling and energy innovation, our panel of investors, developers and advisors will discuss what sustainable digital infrastructure looks like in practice and including:
- where the real bottlenecks are: power, permitting, water or capital;
- which cooling and energy innovations are ready to deploy now, and which are still hype;
- how developers can earn community support for new sites;
- what investors are backing next in sustainable digital infrastructure.
We are thrilled to welcome 4 amazing speakers for this session:
- Sam Arons, VP Energy & Sustainability at Beale Infrastructure
- Nolwenn Godard, Founder at Carbon 2C
- Chase Ott, CTO and co-founder at Mousterian
- Grégoire Viasnoff, Global Head of Accelerator at SE Ventures (Schneider Electrics)
We look forward to seeing you on this occasion!
