Compute Summit

​Compute Summit is a focused, full-day side event at the 7th Energy Tech Summit dedicated entirely to the future of digital infrastructure.

​Taking place on April 16 (Day 2), 10:00–16:00 at the Euskalduna Conference Centre (Compute Stage), this curated programme brings together the full digital infrastructure ecosystem - from hyperscalers and data centre operators to energy leaders, investors, and next-generation startups.

​About the event

​As AI adoption accelerates and compute demand surges, digital infrastructure is no longer just a backend concern — it sits at the very centre of the energy transition. Compute Summit was created to give this shift the spotlight it deserves: a dedicated stage exploring how data centres, power systems, and advanced compute architectures are reshaping global energy systems.

​The agenda features a series of high-impact panels and keynotes covering:

• ​Europe’s widening investment gap vs global hyperscalers — and how to close it

• ​Designing infrastructure for AI, cloud, and emerging compute workloads

• ​Grid access, renewables, and location strategy for next-generation data centres

• ​Water sustainability and environmental constraints

• ​Compute optimisation and the rise of AI-native infrastructure

​Startup Innovation: Compute Challengers

​The afternoon culminates in Compute Challengers, a live pitch competition where selected startups present cutting-edge solutions tackling compute, infrastructure, and energy challenges - directly in front of industry leaders and decision-makers.

​Who should attend
Anyone interested in the intersection of AI, energy, and infrastructure including operators, developers, policymakers, corporates, and investors.

​Access
Open to all Energy Tech Summit attendees.
