Panel Discussion: Data Centre World, ExCel London
04 March 2026
The AI-fuelled ‘gold rush’ has exposed a systemic bottleneck: current linear models prioritise rapid hardware replacement over long-term sustainability, creating resource security risks and accelerating waste.
Join us as we lead our panel of value chain experts, exploring how to create a Circular Data Centre Infrastructure Strategic Roadmap to transform end-of-life physical assets, including waste heat, into new revenue streams that strengthen the resilience of the digital economy.
Drawing on insights from our deep-dive into this topic, we will discuss critical levers: Smarter Design for value retention, Maximised Recovery through asset recirculation, and Systemic Collaboration to reshape policy and procurement. Discover how the data centre industry is already developing the building blocks and good practice; shifting from a narrow focus on cost to a holistic view of value.
