Data centres: powering the green and digital transition in Europe

On 11 February, DIGITALEUROPE hosted a webinar on the role of data centre in Europe's digital and green transition in collaboration with MEP Pernille Weiss.

The data centre industry itself is already one of the most advanced sectors in decarbonising its own operations and in setting ambitious commitments to becoming climate neutral. At the same time, digital services are empowering businesses across all sectors in the economy to innovate, enhance efficiency, develop sustainable services and technologies, and meet their own ambitious climate targets in line with the EU Green Deal goals.
