About Net Zero
Data centers are a cornerstone of the modern, knowledge-based society, and can play a vital part in the transition to a zero-carbon economy in Europe.
The Net Zero Innovation Hub for Data Centers is a pan-European initiative which seeks to address key sectoral challenges in concrete innovation projects and establish stronger links between operators, suppliers, and governments, acting as a gateway for innovation and partnerships in Europe.
Why the hub?
The Net Zero Innovation Hub for Data Centers adresses key areas of opportunities in the effort to speed up the industry's race towards net zero.

Pan-European collaboration
Fostering knowledge sharing in a concrete, physical setup allows the best practice to flow freely between collaborators and members across Europe.
03
Platform for public engagement
