Download the 22-page report

40+ CXO and industry leaders came together at the Digital Infra Leaders' Summit at the Datacloud Global Congress in June 2025 to discuss the pressing issues in our sector - and power was high on the agenda.

As part of the Digital Infra Leaders' workstream, the Datacloud team collected the views, responses and concerns of these industry leaders. This produced invaluable insights into the thought processes behind the people making Europe's AI future a reality - and the potential stumbling blocks that could prevent the continent keeping pace with the rest of the world.

Main discussion topics

How can we secure scalable, low-carbon power access especially in powerconstrained
regions?
How can we overcome grid challenges?
Which emerging markets offer the best long-term alignment between power
availability, sustainability goals, and infrastructure readiness?
