On this episode, we sit down with Edgar van Essen, managing director of Switch Datacenters, an Amsterdam-headquartered data centre business with more than 18 years of experience developing and operating wholesale colocation and build-to-suit hyperscale facilities.

Van Essen discusses the importance of political acceptance for data centres and the need for adaptable designs during the construction period. Van Essen also explains why Switch is looking beyond the Netherlands for its next growth opportunities, what makes markets such as France, Germany and Switzerland attractive, and how the company is preparing for the growing demands of AI.
