Dr Paško Bilić, principal investigator of the project Digital Data, Infrastructures and Development (IP-2022-10-2780), presented project findings at the Srce DEI 2026 conference organised by the University Computing Centre Srce. The presentation, entitled “A Typology of Data Centres in Croatia,” focused on issues of ownership, governance, and digital sovereignty. It highlighted the role of data centres as key infrastructures of the digital society, enabling cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and public services, while simultaneously shaping the relationships between the state, the market, and global technology actors. The paper provides the first systematic mapping of this sector in Croatia, identifying public, hybrid, and private organisational models. By combining document analysis, financial data, and interviews, the study develops a typology of ownership and governance structures, thereby contributing to a better understanding of the relationships between public policy, capital, and digital infrastructure in the context of contemporary European development strategies.
