The meeting brought together professionals, companies, and institutions to reflect on how to address the growing demand for computing capacity, storage, and connectivity.

Prof. Dr. Francisco Alonso participated in the latest edition of the Plaza Forum Breakfast, a discussion forum that brought together representatives from the technology, business, and institutional sectors to address the major challenges facing digital infrastructures amid constantly growing demand.

The debate focused on key issues for economic and technological development: from the most suitable data center model —large-scale infrastructures or distributed networks of micro data centers— to the energy and climate resilience of these facilities, water reuse, edge computing, and the role of efficient software and low-consumption artificial intelligence as a competitive advantage.

The discussion also explored how to turn this transition into an added-value opportunity for the region by taking part in the design, innovation, and intellectual property of the technologies of the future.
