Circle Series is where the future gets built.

This forum brings startups and established industry leaders together to tackle Europe’s most complex infrastructure challenges. With a focus on cross-sector collaboration, Circle Series drives scalable solutions that address the most urgent energy and digital security needs.

In this session, experts from industry, government, and the innovation ecosystem will explore how Europe can align its energy transition, data sovereignty goals, and climate commitments. The discussion will focus on practical strategies to build resilient digital infrastructure that supports Europe’s long-term strategic ambitions.

We'll focus on three key areas:

Energy partnerships between industry and startups to power next-generation data centers
How EU regulations and climate targets are reshaping infrastructure investment decisions
Concrete opportunities for cross-sector collaboration on secure, scalable digital backbone solutions
