Key Topics

Join the Event & Learn from our thought leadership sessions on trends and technology relevant to the French Data Center Industry

AI & HPC Demand

The Paris data center market is experiencing a surge in AI and HPC demand, driving investment in new hyperscale facilities as France requires next-generation infrastructure, including high-density racks, specialised chips, and advanced cooling solutions such as liquid cooling.

Cloud & Data Sovereignty

As data sovereignty and localisation rules develop globally, businesses face growing complexity in where and how data is stored. In France, as across the EU, digital sovereignty is reshaping cloud strategies, driving demand for in-country data oversight.

Investment & Regulation

France’s data center market is rapidly expanding, driven by strong government incentives and significant investment from international players. The French government announced it secured €110 billion for digital infrastructure, cementing Paris's role as a leading digital hub.

Sustainability & Low-Carbon Energy

As 94% of France’s electricity is already low-carbon, France is well-placed to pioneer the next generation of energy solutions for data centers. Operators are leveraging technology like waste heat reuse, which can heat residential properties, and even the 2024 Olympic swimming pools.

"DCN Paris is the right place to turn narrative into evidence: governance that protects sovereignty, acceleration that delivers speed, and design that sustains the climate. I’m prepared to share practical pathways from Data4"

“I am looking forward to attending DCN Paris as the French data center market emerges as a critical platform for large-scale AI deployment, where power availability, cooling innovation, and campus-level design are key differentiators. DCN Paris will be a welcome gathering of the very best in the French data center space, and I look forward to taking part.”

“I’m excited to join DCN Paris to explore how we can build resilient, high-performance data centers ready for the challenges of AI and quantum technologies while keeping sustainability at the heart of our priorities"
