Topics at Data Centre World Paris 2026

THEME: Balancing power, cost, and accountability in a world under pressure

The growth of digital usage, cloud computing, and AI is putting pressure on infrastructure. Data centers are no longer just technical assets; they are becoming strategic balancing points between capacity, cost, energy, and acceptability.

Between data center infrastructure, energy efficiency, capacity planning, and sustainability, decision-making is becoming increasingly complex. Designing, building, and operating a data center now requires navigating a challenging environment, where every choice impacts performance, profitability, and environmental responsibility.

Energy at the heart of projects

Access to energy has become a key factor in the development of data centers. Network availability, electricity costs, and regional considerations directly influence site selection decisions.

Operators must take energy efficiency, power capacity, and grid constraints into account from the very beginning. The ability to ensure a secure energy supply is now critical to the growth and competitiveness of infrastructure.

New AI Infrastructure

The rise of AI is profoundly transforming data center architectures. The demand for high-performance computing requires higher levels of density, advanced cooling systems, and networks capable of handling massive workloads.

The challenges surrounding high-density data centers, liquid cooling, and AI infrastructure scaling are redefining industry standards. The data center is becoming a highly constrained environment where performance and stability must coexist at all times.

Building a data center

Today, data center design relies on structured and industrialised approaches. Standardisation, modularity, and financing are central to these projects, helping to manage timelines, costs, and risks.

Strategies related to modular data centers, data center design, and infrastructure investment enable organisations to anticipate future changes while ensuring operational security. The design phase is critical to ensuring the project’s long-term viability.

Acceptability and sovereignty

Data centers are now part of broader regional and societal challenges. Energy consumption, water use, land availability, and public perception all influence their development.

Companies must incorporate the concepts of digital sovereignty, sustainability, and local impact to design infrastructure that is acceptable and aligned with regulatory and policy expectations. The ability to justify a project is becoming just as important as its technical performance.

Operating a data center under constraints

The day-to-day operation of data centers requires a constant balance between performance, costs, and reliability. Maintenance, physical and logical security, equipment management, and service continuity are at the heart of these operations.

Approaches focused on data center operations, uptime, predictive maintenance, and infrastructure monitoring help optimise performance while keeping costs under control. The challenge is to ensure a high level of availability amid constant pressure on resources.
