Energy and digital transformation are becoming increasingly interconnected. The rapid growth of AI, data centers and digital infrastructure is creating new demands on energy systems, while access to secure, affordable and reliable electricity is becoming an important factor in investment decisions and long-term competitiveness.

On March 16, 2027, AmCham Slovakia will bring together leaders from the energy, technology and business sectors, alongside policymakers and experts, to discuss how Slovakia can prepare its energy and digital infrastructure for the next decade.

The conference will look at the intersection of energy security, digitalization, resilience and competitiveness, from the future energy mix and grid capacity to the rapidly growing electricity needs of AI and data centers, infrastructure investment, financing and resilience.
