Building the next generation of digital infrastructure leaders
At Switch Datacenters, we believe that the future of digital infrastructure is not only shaped by technology, but by people. By those who are willing to learn, challenge conventions and collaborate across disciplines to drive meaningful progress.
That is exactly why Tom Brouwers and Mees Wouters will be part of the Talent in Tech programme during Datacloud Global Congress 2026 in Cannes.
Investing in talent that shapes the future
As the data centre industry evolves at an unprecedented pace, the need for a new generation of leaders becomes increasingly clear. Leaders who understand the intersection of AI, sustainability, energy systems and scalable infrastructure.
Through the Talent in Tech programme — led by Susanna Kass — Tom and Mees will engage with peers from across the industry, exchanging insights and perspectives on some of the most critical topics shaping our sector today. These include AI-driven demand, modular design, water resilience and the broader sustainability transition. [linkedin.com]
For Switch Datacenters, participation is not just about representation. It is about actively contributing to the development of future-ready leadership within our industry.
Learning, connecting and contributing
For Tom and Mees, Datacloud is more than an event. It is an opportunity to step into a wider ecosystem—one where ideas are tested, partnerships are formed and innovation accelerates.
Alongside their participation in the Talent in Tech programme, Mees will also engage with investors and development partners to explore opportunities for sustainable and future-proof expansion. This dual role underlines an important reality: the leaders of tomorrow must be as comfortable in strategic conversations as they are in technical and sustainability-driven discussions.

From ambition to execution
At Switch Datacenters, we see events like Datacloud as a place where ambition turns into action. Where conversations around energy constraints, responsible growth and AI-driven demand become tangible strategies.
By supporting talents like Tom Brouwers and Mees Wouters, we are investing in the people who will help translate these strategies into real-world impact.
Because ultimately, the future of digital infrastructure depends not only on what we build—but on who will lead the way.
