ecoCompute Conference 2025: Engineering a Sustainable Digital Future

The ecoCompute Conference 2025 is set to be the biggest engineering conference focused on sustainability in both hardware and software, taking place November 13-14, 2025 at bUm in Berlin, Germany. This unique event brings together three critical communities: software developers, hardware designers, and data center professionals, all united in the mission to create a sustainable digital future.

Why ecoCompute Matters Now

The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector is responsible for approximately 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions - equivalent to the entire aviation industry. With projections suggesting this could reach up to 14% by 2040, the need for sustainable computing practices has never been more urgent.

ecoCompute addresses this challenge by bridging the gap between different technical domains, reducing implementation hurdles to get sustainability for digital infrastructures into action.
