AI In Critical Infrastructure
24 November 2026 |240 Blackfriars Road, London

AI in Critical Infrastructure

The UK’s leading event for senior energy, utilities, and digital infrastructure leaders, focused on operationalising AI at scale to address the challenges of data centre growth and critical infrastructure resilience – from the creators of London Tech Week.

From Experimentation to Autonomous Energy Systems

What is AI in Critical Infrastructure and Why Now?

Critical infrastructure industries, including electricity grid operators and water providers, are at a pivotal stage in AI adoption. As demand grows alongside the expansion of data centres, leaders must balance operational efficiency, sustainability and resilience while overcoming fragmented data, regulatory complexity and ageing assets.

In the UK, 315 data centres are currently awaiting grid connections, representing an estimated 125GW of demand, compared with the grid’s current capacity of approximately 100GW.

This event brings strategic vision and practical execution together, exploring how AI can support the data centre build-out, renewable energy transition, water management, compliance and infrastructure resilience. Attendees will gain the insights needed to scale AI responsibly and deliver measurable value.

What to Expect
