Morgane Honikman pushes for building data centers closer to cities rather than only on large remote campuses, pointing to lower latency, better use of already-built land, and the chance to reuse heat in urban networks, while also arguing that Europe needs its own data-center base to support its digital independence. With a background rooted in project finance across infrastructure, energy, and real estate, she takes a practical view on energy transition, noting that intermittent renewables can't yet fully power a data center on their own and that progress in storage is what will gradually raise their share, and she often points to reusing existing sites, such as older business parks, as part of building new digital infrastructure.
