The Trillion-Dollar Race for Data Centers and High-Perfomance Computing: Who Owns the Future of AI Infrastructure?

AI breakthroughs demand more than smart algorithms — they require massive computing power, resilient infrastructure, and global supply chains that are anything but secure. As demand for high-performance computing (HPC) and energy-hungry data centers explodes, so do the strategic stakes.
Who controls the chips, the cloud, and the energy to power them? Are Europe and Germany doing enough to secure technological sovereignty in the face of hyperscaler dominance from the U.S. and rising geopolitical tensions? How can we build sustainable, sovereign infrastructure that keeps pace with AI’s growth — without deepening dependency or undermining climate goals?
This session brings together voices from tech, industry, and policy to explore the future of AI infrastructure: from silicon to sovereignty, and from cloud to kilowatt.

Additional speakers to be announced.
