The Czech and Slovak digital infrastructure is undergoing a fundamental transformation.
The development of networks, data centers and cloud capacities is no longer determined only by investments and technological capabilities, but also by the availability of electricity, security and digital sovereignty.
CSDIA Conference 2026 opens space for strategic dialogue on key topics that will influence the further development and competitiveness of our region.
The conference will take place on September 24, 2026 at the National Technical Library in Prague.
Participation in the conference is only possible after prior registration.
DATA CENTERS
European regulation and sustainability
European rules for energy efficiency and sustainability in data centers are changing rapidly. In addition to mandatory reporting of operational indicators, a common European assessment, an electronic energy label and the upcoming minimum performance standards are being added.
The discussion will focus on the practical impacts of the new regulation on operators, investors and technology suppliers - from energy and water consumption to waste heat utilization and the involvement of data centers in energy flexibility.
INFRASTRUKTURA
Investice a financování
Central and Eastern Europe offers significant scope for the development of data centers and other digital infrastructure. However, the implementation of large projects depends on the availability of capital, energy, suitable locations and a stable investment environment.
The discussion will bring together the perspectives of investors, infrastructure funds, banks and operators. It will focus on project financing, mergers and acquisitions, the investment attractiveness of the CEE region and the conditions for its further growth.
CAPACITY
Technology for higher performance
As computing power demands increase, the physical infrastructure of data centers is also evolving rapidly. Higher power consumption per rack changes the requirements for power, cooling, space layout, and operational security.
Leading technology vendors will showcase current developments in rack systems, power distribution, cooling, and infrastructure management, not only to increase capacity, but also to achieve higher energy efficiency, reliability, redundancy, and more efficient use of space and available resources.
CONNECTIVITY
Energy and stability of digital infrastructure
The availability of electricity, the capacity of transmission and distribution networks, and reliable data connections are among the main conditions for the further growth of digital infrastructure. The development of data centers, cloud services, and international data routes requires powerful and resilient nodes with stable power supply and sufficient transmission capacity.
The block will open a space for expert discussion on large-scale battery storage (BESS), industrial-scale power management, alternative energy sources, and other solutions supporting the stability and resilience of digital infrastructure.
