- What are you most looking forward to at Data Centre Expo?
What I’m most looking forward to is the opportunity to meet the people who are actually driving the development of data centre infrastructure across the Nordics and Europe. Sweden is one of the fastest-growing data centre markets in Europe — we have renewable energy, a cold climate, and stable infrastructure, which makes the country a natural hub for hyperscale deployments. That means Swedish and Nordic players have a unique voice in the global conversation. I’m looking forward to being part of that dialogue and showing what HARTING can contribute. - As AI infrastructure grows, what role will reliable connectivity and power distribution play in the development of future data centres?
That role is absolutely critical — and it’s often underestimated. As AI workloads demand increasingly higher power densities per rack, entirely new requirements are placed on the components that hold systems together. We’re talking about connectors that must handle high currents without interruption, and network interfaces that support speeds and environments that were unthinkable ten years ago.
At HARTING, we work with what we call three lifelines: Data, Signal, and Power. In a data centre context, all three are under pressure simultaneously. It’s not just about choosing the right connector — it’s about building systems that are reliable, scalable, and easy to maintain in an environment that can never afford downtime.
Here in Sweden, we’re also seeing growing interest in edge solutions and AI-adjacent infrastructure outside the major cities. That places even greater demands on robust and flexible connectivity solutions. - What would you like visitors to discover or take away from meeting HARTING at the event?
I want them to leave with a clear sense that HARTING is more than a component supplier. We are a technical partner — a company that engages with the customer’s real challenges and helps solve them, rather than simply selling a product and moving on.
From HARTING Sweden, we work closely with our customers and we value long-term relationships. That’s the culture we bring to every event. If someone walks away from our meeting feeling like they’ve found a team that truly understands their business and can grow alongside them — then we’ve succeeded.
