Czech and Slovak digital infrastructure is undergoing fundamental transformation.
The development of networks, data centers and cloud capacities is no longer determined solely by investments and technological capabilities, but also by the availability of electrical energy, 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 possible only after prior registration
DATA CENTERS
European Regulation and Sustainability
European rules for energy efficiency and sustainability of data centers are changing rapidly. Mandatory reporting of operational indicators is being supplemented by a common European rating, an electronic energy label, and upcoming minimum performance standards.
The discussion will focus on the practical impacts of the new regulation on operators, investors, and technology providers – from energy and water consumption to the use of waste heat and the involvement of data centers in energy flexibility.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Investment and Financing
Central and Eastern Europe offers significant opportunities 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 connect the perspectives of investors, infrastructure funds, banks, and operators. It will focus on project financing, mergers and acquisitions, investment attractiveness of the CEE region, and conditions for its further growth.
CAPACITY
Technology for higher performance
As computational power demands increase, the physical infrastructure of data centers is also developing rapidly. Higher power consumption per rack changes the requirements for power supply, cooling, spatial layout, and operational safety.
Leading technology suppliers will present current developments in the field of rack systems, power distribution, cooling, and infrastructure management. This is not only about increasing capacity, but also about higher energy efficiency, reliability, redundancy, and more efficient use of space and available resources.
CONNECTIVITY
Energy and stability of digital infrastructure
The availability of electrical energy, the capacity of transmission and distribution networks, and reliable data connectivity are among the main conditions for 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 space for expert discussion on large-capacity battery energy storage systems (BESS), power management at industrial scale, alternative energy sources, and other solutions supporting the stability and resilience of digital infrastructure.
