In this episode, host Charlotte Buffoni (Inogen Alliance Leadership Team / Antea Group UK) is joined by Alessandro Intile (HPC Italy) and Julie Kreger-King (Antea Group USA) to explore the rapid global growth of data centers and the evolving environmental, health and safety (EHS) challenges that come with it.
