speaker
Keynote speeches on data centers, energy and digital sovereignty – in front of up to 5,000 listeners, most recently on the main stage of CloudFest.
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
I'm talking about what I'm building myself: data centers in a country where getting a power connection takes longer than building the facility. About whether Europe is keeping pace with AI infrastructure or just watching from the sidelines. And about what data centers actually mean for communities, jobs, and economic value creation – without buzzwords, with real-world figures from firstcolo and FRA7.
THREE PRESENTATION TOPICS
Germany's invisible crisis
Why a company in Frankfurt has to wait ten years for electricity, what that means for AI and competitiveness – and what politicians and network operators now need to change.
Sovereign or dependent?
US Cloud Act, European providers, ownership structures: Why a data center in Germany alone does not guarantee digital sovereignty – and how to truly recognize it.
From children's room to 250 million project
At 15, he founded his first company, in his early 20s firstcolo, and today he is the developer of an AI data center: a founder's story about detours, wrong decisions and the question of when to let go.
