On Tuesday, November 25, 2025, the Swiss and international data center industry gathered in Zurich for Data Center Nation 2025 – the most important meeting place for everyone who is shaping the future of data, cloud, and connectivity.
As an official partner and member of the Swiss Data Center Association (SDCA), we were not only present, but also actively involved in shaping this key industry event. This is a special moment for GAS&COM: our CEO Sergio Milesi, who is also president of the SDCA, is positioning our company and the entire Swiss data center industry with clear messages and strategic foresight.
Focus on energy, AI, and the future of digital Switzerland
The day got off to a flying start in the morning with the first highlight:
At 9:50 a.m., our CEO Sergio Milesi opened a high-profile panel discussion with the key question:
“Does Switzerland have the right energy mix for data centers to drive the age of AI?”
Under the leadership of Sergio Milesi, renowned leaders discussed the energy future of the Swiss data center landscape:
- Christoph Brand, CEO Axpo Group
- Marcel Lenzin, Head Grid Strategy Swissgrid
- René Zierler, Ph.D., Managing Director Switzerland, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
- Christian Keller, Chairman & General Manager IBM
- Babak Falsafi, President SDEA | Professor EPFL
The panel will examine how energy infrastructure, security of supply, and innovation must interact to enable Switzerland to play a leading role in the AI era.
As GAS&COM, one of the leading providers of high-performance connectivity solutions, we brought a clear perspective to the table: data centers, energy supply, and connectivity are inextricably linked. High-performance data networks are a key driver of innovation, AI applications, and the competitiveness of Switzerland as a business location.
We would like to thank all our customers and partners for the exciting discussions on site and for the fact that together we are influencing this important industry and are an important part of it.
