Energy Infrastructure & Data Centres Europe 2027 (#EIDCEurope2027) will take place on 13–14 April in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Positioned as Europe’s leading platform connecting AI, energy and digital infrastructure to unlock the next era of growth, the summit will bring together 600+ policymakers, energy companies, utilities, grid operators, renewable energy developers, data centre operators, cloud and AI infrastructure providers, ports, industrial clusters, investors and infrastructure developers from across Europe to explore how Europe can connect energy and digital infrastructure to power Europe’s AI future.

Co-located with Carbon Capture Europe Summit 2027 and SAF Europe Summit 2027, EIDCEurope2027 anchors Rotterdam Energy Transition Week 2027 — the continent's most concentrated gathering of energy transition, industrial decarbonisation, and climate infrastructure leadership.

UNLOCKING DIGITAL INTELLIGENCE FOR A SMARTER GREENER ENERGY FUTURE

AI for Energy Transition Europe 2026 (#AIETE2026) is a two-day conference on 11–12 March 2026 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, focused on practical AI deployment across the energy transition. Bringing together 350+ senior leaders from utilities, energy producers, grid operators, technology providers, investors and policymakers, the summit focuses on practical AI deployment across Europe’s energy transition—from strategy and regulation to scalable delivery.

The agenda is built around real-world implementation priorities, spanning AI-powered smart grids and flexibility, digital twins and asset resilience, renewables optimisation, sustainable power for data centres, market and customer transformation, and the governance and cyber resilience required to scale AI securely across the energy enterprise.

Co-located with Carbon Capture Europe Summit 2026 and Sustainable Fuels Global Summit 2026, this event anchors a comprehensive dialogue on digital and low-carbon innovation shaping Europe’s future energy ecosystem.
