The challenge

Data centres are one of the fastest-growing sources of global emissions, and inefficient enterprise cloud applications drive a large share of the waste. With cloud spend projected to top €1 trillion a year by 2030 and data centres on track to emit 2.5 billion tonnes of CO₂, cutting avoidable compute is urgent for both cost and climate.

The solution

GreenShift is an Amsterdam-based AI startup that cuts cloud costs and emissions by up to 40%. Its platform right-sizes infrastructure, optimizes workloads in real time, aligns compute with renewable availability, and flags inefficient application code. Early pilots already show up to 40% reductions in both costs and emissions with no performance loss, and GreenShift is now scaling enterprise deployments.
