nexspace in the media: CFO Lars Schnidrig in GRI interview

Lars Schnidrig, CFO, nexspace data centers in interview with GRI

Heidelberg, 29. July 2025 - As part of the German GRI 2025, Lars Schnidrig, CFO of nexspace data centers | colocation, and Diego Tavares, Managing Director Europe & Senior Partner at the GRI Institute, had an exciting and in-depth exchange. The discussion focused on current developments in the data center industry - particularly against the backdrop of regulatory changes and growing demand.

Lars Schnidrig gave an in-depth insight into the dynamics of the market and emphasized that the demand for high-performance, energy-efficient data centers is constantly growing. Drivers of this development include the increasing need for data processing and new legal requirements, such as the EU Energy Efficiency Directive recently implemented in Germany. Germany is the first country in the EU to have taken a significant step towards greater sustainability and transparency in the IT sector.

Lars' perspective on the role of regulatory measures was particularly noteworthy. He explained that regulation can be a competitive advantage - provided you act at the forefront. Current regulations are leading to a fundamental change in the market: more and more companies are moving their IT infrastructure from internal server rooms to professional, energy-efficient colocation data centers in order to meet the growing demands for efficiency, sustainability and compliance.

The interview illustrates the extent to which the industry is undergoing radical change - and the key role played by data center providers such as nexspace.
