In the era of AI, the mantra is clear: if you want the data, you need the centre. In other words, the exponential growth of Artificial Intelligence hinges on the ever-increasing power of data centres. But traditional data centres, the engines powering the AI revolution, come at a high environmental cost. This keynote explores how the data centre industry is undergoing a critical transformation by embracing climate-positive solutions. This is a crucial step to reach the market's ambitious goal of net zero emissions.

• The surging demand for AI and its reliance on data centres.
• The environmental and energy challenges posed by traditional data centre operations and how these can be tackled through innovative strategies for building and operating climate-positive data centres, including the use of renewable energy sources and new cooling technologies, optimizing energy efficiency through AI itself, and reducing energy waste.
• How these advancements can ensure sustainable growth in the AI era and contribute to a cleaner future.
