The AI Factory fast track: Europe’s emerging model of sovereign, off-grid data center infrastructure
Keynote Speakers:
- Rod Evans, EMEA Vice President Supercomputing & AI, NVIDIA
- Cosmin Georgescu, CEO and Founder, ClusterPower
As traditional data center construction sputters under electrical grid connection delays, agile neoclouds are rewriting the deployment playbook. Featuring ClusterPower’s landmark 800MW complex in Romania, this panel demonstrates how neoclouds turn years-long data center planning cycles into 12-month delivery. It will explore how this fast-paced physical infrastructure planning meshes with the architecture shifts and innovations driven by NVIDIA and other core data center providers. The discussion contrasts capital structures, analyses how behind-the-meter generation compresses delivery timelines and reveals the physical differences of dedicated AI factories. The session will demonstrate Eastern Europe’s role in helping solve the continent’s capacity crisis. Speakers will also share how sovereign AI infrastructure navigates EU AI Act, GDPR, and data residency compliance
