The world’s appetite for data is exploding—but so is its environmental cost. Every email sent, file stored, and video streamed requires energy to process, store, and transmit, leaving a growing carbon footprint that’s largely invisible to most businesses. This session lifts the lid on the hidden strain our digital lives place on the planet, exploring the link between data growth and environmental impact. The team at CompressionX will share how innovative approaches to data storage and transfer can drastically cut energy use without compromising performance, you’ll discover practical strategies any organisation can adopt to reduce its digital carbon footprint. The takeaway: sustainability isn’t just about renewable energy or greener infrastructure—it’s about rethinking the way we manage information itself.

Nicholas is the co-founder and CEO of CompressionX, a company on a mission to radically reduce the environmental impact of our ever-growing digital footprint. Fascinated by the power of data, his passion for pure mathematics led him to California, where a single question became his obsession: how could you fit infinite data into a single bit?
Now, Nicholas believes sustainability in technology isn’t just about greener infrastructure—it’s about rethinking how we handle information from the ground up. With multiple patents in place and global partnerships forming, CompressionX is setting a new benchmark for efficient, environmentally responsible data use.
As Nicholas often says, “Data compression is just the beginning.” What’s next? A future where our digital progress and our planet can thrive together.
