Discovery Stage, hosted by Schneider Electric
Green Zone

Goldman Sachs analysts estimate current global demand to be approximately 62 gigawatts, comprised of cloud workloads (58%), traditional workloads (29%), and AI workloads (13%). AI is projected to grow to 28% of the overall market by 2027, while cloud drops to 50%, and traditional workloads fall to 21%. 

This keynote panel will discuss: 

  • Are we seeing a demand for a transition to inferencing? 

  • What innovations are we seeing around data centre design? 

  • Neocloud is the big disrupter in the market, how are their specifications differing from hyperscaler and enterprise requirements? 

  • Enterprise adoption of AI 

  • How is Europe keeping up with the race for AI
