  11. Green Innovation
    Modern data centres are increasingly constrained by one fundamental challenge: heat removal. While computing densities have changed dramatically, the underlying infrastructure logic remains largely based on legacy rack architectures originally designed for low-density, air-cooled systems. This session explores how the industry may need to rethink data centre design by placing thermal architecture at the centre of planning. Drawing parallels with sectors such as shipbuilding, where fluid systems define infrastructure structure and reliability strategies, the talk discusses how cross-industry learning could influence the next generation of high-density AI facilities.
