Data Center World 2026

Data Center World is one of the leading global events dedicated to the future of digital infrastructure, bringing together data center operators, developers, technology providers, and industry leaders from across the ecosystem.

 

The conference delivers expert insights, strategic guidance, and real-world solutions on the technologies required to plan, build, and optimize next-generation data centers. Its program addresses critical industry challenges, including AI-driven demand, energy and power constraints, cooling technologies, automation, and sustainability.

 

Data Center World 2026 will take place in Washington, D.C. from April 20–23, 2026.

 

Atoco will be attending Data Center World 2026 in Washington, D.C.

 

Our team will be on-site and available to engage with data center operators, developers, and partners.

 

We look forward to discussing how decades of research led by our Founder and Chief Science Officer, Nobel Laureate Prof. Omar Yaghi, can be translated into transformative solutions for more sustainable data centers.

One of the central questions at this year’s event is how to balance AI’s accelerated growth with the urgent need to redesign how data centers are designed, powered and operated.

 

At Atoco, we bring a fundamentally new approach to enable sustainable data centers, based on reticular chemistry.

 

Our nano-engineered materials – among the most porous ever created – can have the internal surface area of a football field per gram and are designed with atomic precision to capture specific molecules such as CO₂ and water.

As power demand grows, many data centers are turning to on-site natural gas generation to secure reliable energy.

 

Atoco’s Post-Combustion Capture (PCC) technology is specifically designed for low-concentration flue gas streams typical of natural gas systems, enabling operators to:

 

• Reduce emissions while maintaining operational flexibility

• Support faster deployment of new capacity

• Align with sustainability and regulatory requirements

 

In parallel, our Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology opens new opportunities to transform cooling airflow and waste heat into a potential revenue stream, turning sustainability into economic value.

As digital infrastructure continues to scale, improving the sustainability of data centers is becoming critical to long-term economic resilience. Yet water remains an often-overlooked constraint. Data centers rely on significant volumes of water – both directly and indirectly – for cooling, potable use, and daily operations.

 

As climate change intensifies droughts and increases pressure on already stressed water resources, reducing water dependency is becoming just as important as improving energy efficiency.

 

At Atoco, we address this challenge through atmospheric water harvesting, enabled by nano-engineered reticular materials – allowing data centers to unlock a new, sustainable source of water.
