In a significant stride toward sustainable technology infrastructure, Brussels has launched Europe’s first large-scale open-source green data center. This pioneering facility leverages cutting-edge liquid cooling and renewable energy integration, reducing energy consumption by up to 40% compared to conventional data centers.

The initiative aims to set new benchmarks for cloud computing efficiency and environmental responsibility. By adopting open-source hardware and software solutions, the project fosters transparency, collaboration, and rapid innovation across the tech sector. The data center is also designed as a living lab, inviting startups and researchers to test and optimize sustainable IT solutions in real-world conditions.

This move reflects a broader European commitment to digital sovereignty and green technology leadership, aligning with the EU’s ambitious climate targets. For more details on Europe’s green digital transition, visit the European Commission’s Green Digital Strategy.
