Part 2: From Rules to Resilience - Building AI‑Ready, Sustainable Financial Services

Walk away with a playbook to balance regulatory readiness, AI performance and net‑zero commitments. AI is exploding and so are expectations on uptime, sustainability, and transparency. We lay out the megatrends reshaping digital infrastructure: AI workloads driving unprecedented power density, cooling innovation, and grid dependency; and why data centers have become part of Europe’s core financial “critical stack.” DORA has changed the game by putting critical ICT providers under the same oversight that supervises financial institutions, and how CSRD/EU Taxonomy are turning emissions reporting and renewable sourcing into board‑level realities. This panel debates the practical choices: where to place workloads for resilience, compliance, and sovereignty, how to prepare for GPU inference at scale, especially fraud & risk, and how to hit emissions targets without sacrificing performance.
