THE ZETTASCALE ERA – The Race to Generate, Process, and Store Data

Fernando García
Fernando García IDP Managing Director Speaker

14-05-2025 10:30 14-05-2025 11:00 Europe/Madrid THE ZETTASCALE ERA – The Race to Generate, Process, and Store Data We are living through an unprecedented moment in digital history: every second, billions of devices generate data that must be processed in real time. From the Internet of Things (IoT) to Edge Computing, and from generative AI models to distributed inference, the world is moving toward a new scale of processing: Zettascale. This presentation explores how the race for data is redefining digital infrastructure, and what challenges and opportunities are emerging on the path to a future where data powers everything.

14-05-2025 11:30 14-05-2025 12:00 Europe/Madrid Data Center Market Dynamic Europe’s data center market is evolving fast, with rising demand for digital infrastructure driving real estate investment across key hubs. Hyperscale and colocation providers are expanding aggressively, while new growth corridors in Southern and Eastern Europe emerge as viable alternatives to saturated Tier 1 markets. Power availability, land constraints, and sustainability regulations are now central to site selection strategies. This session will explore how these market dynamics are reshaping location decisions, development models, and investment opportunities in Europe’s data center real estate landscape. Side Events Room

Future Outlook. HPC and Quantum Computing

Victor Canivell
Victor Canivell Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech Chairman of the Board and co-founder Speaker

#Artificial Intelligence, #Hardware, #Quantum Computing

14-05-2025 12:30 14-05-2025 13:00 Europe/Madrid Future Outlook. HPC and Quantum Computing High Performance Computing (HPC) provides powerful solvers for real-world calculations. In addition to the rapid evolution of its conventional hardware and software technologies, HPC is also evolving into powerful, hybrid architectures, integrating complementary quantum technologies. Quantum computers are thus becoming accelerators for supercomputers, whereby they can provide exponentially more powerful solutions for certain hard compute problems of great economical interest. Quantum computers also provide significant support to minimize the rapidly accelerating demand of data centre energy consumption, at orders of magnitude lower than current HPC and AI data centres. Quantum computing provides access to a new compute paradigm that will drive HPC into new solution territories, both more powerful and less power hungry. Side Events Room

Simon Phillips OQC CTO Speaker

14-05-2025 13:30 14-05-2025 14:00 Europe/Madrid Pioneering The Quantum Logical Era: Achieving Commercial Advantage Through Data Centre Integration The commercial data centre market is set to be worth $584.86 billion by 2032: this growth is primarily driven by digitalisation. Quantum acceleration, thanks to significant recent advances, offers a path to capture critical value that classical compute cannot - and data centre integration plays a crucial part in this acceleration. As quantum compute enters the logical era, accessibility through established data centres is key to unlocking commercial advantage. Side Events Room
