Dr. Jens Struckmeier is a physicist, inventor and entrepreneur from Germany. Whilst still a student, he was responsible for the planning of the first passive house in North Rhine-Westphalia, integrating an innovative heating system. Between 2000 and 2003 Jens worked as a project lead in device and software development in Santa Barbara, USA. From 2004 to 2009 he successfully managed a German nano-biology instrumentation company. In 2009 Jens started developing water cooling systems for data centers, which led to the foundation of the green computing business Cloud&Heat Technologies. Since then, the vision of the Dresden-based company has been to make sustainability the driver of digital innovation. Cloud&Heat develops, builds and operates energy-efficient, green, secure and scalable data centers, meeting the growing demand for distributed and high available IT infrastructures. Jens is not only the driving force behind the company’s hardware development but is also focussed on a variety of other topics, such as data security, AI, AR, VR and blockchain.
