With increasing digitalisation, the electricity demand of servers and data centres in all companies is continuously rising—particularly due to data-intensive applications such as cloud services, streaming, AI applications, and big data analytics. The focus of the NEFI Technology Talk, organised by OÖ Energiesparverband, is on efficiency measures that help reduce the electricity consumption of servers and data centres.

The programme includes efficient cooling systems, energy management systems, optimal server utilisation, and solutions for procuring new hardware. The event presents current technologies and best-practice examples, highlights the impact of AI on energy consumption, and demonstrates how energy efficiency and operational reliability can go hand in hand.

NEFI is the Austrian innovation network driving the industrial transformation towards climate neutrality. Flagship projects show that climate-neutral industrial production is technically and economically feasible with innovations “Made in Austria.” The NEFI Technology Talks are a series of events addressing current technical and systemic issues related to the industrial energy transition.
