Critical infrastructure industries, such as electricity grid operators and water supply, are at a pivotal moment in their adoption of AI. As the demand for energy and water grows alongside the expansion of data centres, these industries face mounting challenges in balancing operational efficiency, sustainability, and resilience. The focus has shifted from experimentation to achieving measurable enterprise impact. Leaders are grappling with fragmented data systems, compliance complexities, and the need for predictive capabilities to manage risks and extend asset lifespans.

There are 315 data centres currently waiting for connection to the grid in the UK, an estimated 125GW of power needs. For context the entire UK grid currently has a capacity of ~100GW.

It is where strategic vision meets practical execution, offering a unique platform to explore how AI is transforming critical infrastructure and how it is dealing with the impact of data centre build out and the renewable transition.

From addressing energy demands and water management to enhancing resilience and compliance, this event provides the tools and knowledge to scale AI solutions with confidence, responsibility, and measurable value.
