We feed the cloud every day. The question is: are we also securing its foundations?

What used to be back-end is now critical to the system – for companies, cities and Europe.

Digital infrastructure is no longer just an IT issue.
It is a question of location. A question of energy. A question of security.

Data centres are not black boxes.
They need electricity. Space. Cooling. Security.

System-critical infrastructure requires strategic decisions:

• How can we shape digital growth responsibly?
• What conditions are necessary for a resilient economy?
• How can we ensure strategic sovereignty in Europe's digital infrastructure?

neext Datacenter Summit

These questions will be the focus of the neext Datacenter Summit on 9 September 2026 at the Digital Technologies Forum of the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology, and Space in Berlin.

Under the banner of 'Feeding the Cloud – Welcome to Mass Data Farming', this event will bring together decision-makers from the worlds of business, energy, technology and politics.

What you won't find here:

• Staged panels without real controversy
• Exhibitions as isolated product areas
• Exchanges within closed industry circles

What you can expect:

• Moderated discussions with real friction
• Exhibitions as an active part of the content-based workspace
• A curated, cross-industry circle of decision-makers

NOT A TRADITIONAL TRADE FAIR FORMAT.
No listening from the back row. 
Instead, a workspace for strategic dialogue.

Because digital infrastructure affects us all. It determines competitiveness, resilience and sovereignty.

And its future will not be shaped by going it alone. But through dialogue.
