Episode 76 - Start(ing) again in Portugal with Omer Wilson, Start Campus

The start campus data center project has big dreams, aiming to build a 1.2GW data center campus in Sines, Portugal. 

While things have progressed on the campus, its entanglement in the corruption probe that saw the Prime Minister resign and led to the arrest of several of Start’s executives including then CEO Afonso Salema caused some hiccups.

With the charges now dropped (and a new CEO in place) and the first data center on the campus live, Start is back on the grind to see the project through to fruition. Omer Wilson, chief marketing officer at Start Campus, talks to DCD about the project, and addresses the issue of starting again, after such a disruption.

Bonus Episode - The need for basic science research, with Vint Cerf

US scientific research institutions are under attack. DOGE-led cuts to National Science Foundation funding, caps on indirect research costs, firings at the National Institute of Health, layoffs at the Department of Energy, and more will profoundly weaken the US' scientific standing.
But what does this mean for the country, for companies, and for the data center sector?

We speak to the 'father of the Internet' Vint Cerf, co-developer of the TCP/IP protocol, about why the Internet had to come out of government-backed research, what he learned from his time at the National Science Board, and how we can win back our future.
