The Flexibility Layer
EV charging is new demand. But it can also be flexible demand - and even make charging profitable.
Fount uses data on vehicles, charging, prices and site capacity to shift charging to the hours when power is cheapest and the grid has room. Can mobility become part of the energy system, rather than just another load on it?
12:10–12:25
The Orchestration Layer
Much of the Nordic data center discussion starts and ends with cheap electricity and who gets it. But no country ever built a lasting industry by exporting raw resources alone (this we know in Norway). Robert Nyiredy explores how energy flexibility, automation, intelligent infrastructure and industrial software can become the foundation for a Nordic data center ecosystem - one that captures more value than simply hosting the world's AI workloads.
12:25–12:32
The Optimization Layer
Entro shows how better operation of existing technical systems can cut energy use significantly before owners invest in new capacity, equipment or infrastructure. At the University of Oslo, operational optimization across the portfolio reduced energy use by 23.5%.
Before we build more power, how much capacity can we unlock by simply running buildings better?
12:32–12:39
You can't optimise what you cannot see.
Noova shows how real-time energy data can move buildings and portfolios from passive monitoring to active control - identifying abnormal loads, understanding cost, optimising consumption and deciding when flexibility should be used.
12:39–12:46
Once loads become controllable, buildings can do more than simply consume power.
Enlink shows how heating, ventilation, cooling and other flexible loads can be aggregated into virtual power plants - allowing buildings to respond to the needs of the grid and participate in balancing and flexibility markets.
The final step is to turn flexibility from a technical capability into an economic asset.

Data centres can't wait years for full grid capacity.
Helinor Energy is developing modular onsite power systems that can bring capacity online in phases, scale with demand and reduce exposure to grid delays. Its platform combines gas-to-power for primary capacity with modular hydrogen fuel-cell backup for resilient, lower-emission critical power.
Can Nordic energy technology make power itself part of the competitive advantage in the AI infrastructure race?
13:00–13:07
Today, operational and climate data is trapped inside systems. Tomorrow, it needs to sit in a layer that applications, banks and AI agents can access directly.
That changes the workflow: financed emissions can be pulled automatically, underperforming buildings can be flagged before the bill arrives, and data can survive a change of property-management system.
But automation only works if the data can be trusted. Energi.AI shows why the next generation of real-estate infrastructure starts with verifiable data - before the agents arrive.
