"After the overall rapid establishment of the GDA and the necessary work for consolidation, we quickly turned to issues and activities in terms of content," chairman Harry Schnabel took a generally positive assessment of the association's first year of work at General Assembly.

Review on a successful start, clear goals for the future

Schnabel continued: "With our Net[t]work lunches, which are based on the motto "Business is created by people", we were able to address a large number of interested parties from the industry. Internationally, we already presented the new association at the meeting of the European associations and were able to agree on a close cooperation with the Dutch association. In addition, a cooperation agreement was concluded with the Chinese province of Guizhou in September 2019 and we made a study trip to Norway."

Clear goals for the future

"These activities are to be strengthened and expanded in 2020," announced Schnabel. "In addition to a number of other network lunches in all parts of the republic, there should also be subject-related events that address not only the industry, but also political decision-makers and the general public. In a series of talks at all political levels, we want to transparently present the concerns of the data centers and offer ourselves here as a contact and cooperation partner. "

The General Assembly unanimously supported the working concept developed by the board.
