From Gridlock to Grid Asset: Data Centres for Digital Sovereignty, Energy Resilience, and Competitiveness
30 September 2025
Our think tank promotes regulation that stimulates citizens’ engagement in the energy transition, helps them to safely harvest the fruit of the digital economy and allows them to benefit from the smart mobility revolution.
We work across the energy, mobility, media, telecom and tech sectors (and more) to move regulation forward. Our cross-sector approach, bringing together industry, academia, regulators, and policy makers is unique. Through this unequalled network and knowledge, we identify and analyse common features, approaches and instruments. We enable novel approaches and disseminate best practices to advance regulation and policies.
