Bitkom Data Centre Summit 2025: Tackling Germany's Data Center Challenges
The Bitkom Data Centre Summit is set to take place on November 13, 2025, at the Representation of the State of Hesse to the Federal Government in Berlin. This event aims to tackle the challenges faced by Germany's data centers, which are crucial for digitalization, the economy, and society, enabling connectivity and sustainability.
Germany's data center capacity growth is lagging behind demand, unlike leading nations such as the USA and China. The summit will focus on developing concrete solutions to overcome location challenges, including reliable power supply expansions, regulatory framework improvements, and sustainable infrastructure development. Innovations like AI-driven technologies will also be explored to foster a strong digital future, international competitiveness, and sustainable digital sovereignty through a powerful data center hub.
Data centers in Germany face several obstacles, including insufficient power connection capacities, high power prices, regulatory requirements, lengthy approval processes, and the lack of an overarching strategy. Despite these challenges, data centers remain essential for digital sovereignty and key technologies such as AI.
The Bitkom Data Centre Summit on November 13, 2025, seeks to address the critical issues affecting Germany's data centers. By finding solutions to these challenges, the event hopes to strengthen Germany's digital future, maintain international competitiveness, and ensure sustainable digital sovereignty.
