EDIT: Due to the Corona-virus, the conference has been moved to the 29th of September.
2019 has been a pivotal year for climate change awareness, where corporate organizations are now racing not only to join the fight against climate change, but also to avoid shrinking profits or funding restrictions as consumers and investors alike demand green-friendly sustainable businesses.
Building on this movement UNEP DTU Partnership and the Danish Data Center Industry are inviting stakeholders and experts to join the 2020 Data Centers Denmark conference, focusing on Building and operating climate positive data centers .
The event also builds on last year’s successful data center conference, and provides a platform for data center stakeholders as well as policy practitioners and technology experts to connect and discuss data center sustainability from a policy as well as a technology standpoint.
Aligning with the SDGs
The conference will focus on policy requirements and highlight innovations ranging from liquid cooling to energy storage solutions and more.
“The data center industry is on the road to consume a significant part of our planet’s power in upcoming years, immediate action is required to redirect the data center industry towards a climate-positive future,“ said Gabriela Prata Dias, Head of Strategy for Business models and markets at UNEP-DTU Partnership.
