Content Highlights
The OCP EMEA Summit in Europe serves as a platform where technical and business leaders from EMEA come together to tackle crucial issues related to data center sustainability, energy efficiency, and heat reuse. The focus is on exploring how innovations from hyperscale data center operators can contribute to solving these challenges. The Summit also highlights deployments of specific OCP-recognized data center equipment in the EMEA region.
The key areas of emphasis for 2025 were Data Center Sustainability, AI, Security & Data Protection, Power & Cooling and Deployments. Additionally, invited talks dove into topics such as quantum technology, optics and telecommunications. Participants came together to move forward the OCP Community’s role in developing and implementing a sustainable and scalable computational infrastructure for the future in Europe.
The OCP Community leadership arranged 11 dynamic Breakout Session tracks, including two Special Focus Tracks: OpenRAN, and Photonics. We also spent a half day on AI.
The Summit featured an impressive 233 speakers across 189 sessions. Stordis also hosted a colocated workshop on SONiC.
