He is widely recognised for his leadership, technical expertise, and dedication to advancing the industry’s standards. In his new role as Chairperson, Boscaro will oversee the Eurovent Task Force’s strategic initiatives, focusing on shaping the future of the data centre cooling sector across Europe. Mario Scattolin, Global Compliance Director at Vertiv, will assume the role of Vice-Chairperson. He is an expert in IT cooling solutions and has extensive experience in European and worldwide markets.

The new TF-ITC Chairperson, Enrico Boscaro, stated: “The data centre industry is using a lot of energy, but from a global perspective it is providing technologies, from video conferencing to AI, that might result in global energy savings. Nonetheless, the players in the data centre cooling marketplace have always been striving to achieve energy efficiency. New technologies and new EU regulations are creating new challenges, but I am sure this group, made up of exceptionally skilled professionals, is willing to lead the way for the entire HVAC to aim at continuous improvement, to guarantee the best sustainability both from the environmental and the economic point of view. I am honoured to be the Chairperson of this group and will do my best to collect everyone’s contribution together with Mario, to combine all the members’ knowledge and support the policymakers in this journey that will make our planet a better place.”

Marion Scattolin, TF-ITC Vice-Chairperson, said: “I am honoured and excited to serve as the Vice-Chairperson of the Task Force. In our increasingly interconnected world, the demand for computational power continues to grow exponentially. This growth parallels the critical need to address environmental impacts, climate change and the imperative need for decarbonisation.”

He further added: “Our Task Force is at the forefront of providing any useful information for defining the regulatory framework that will govern IT cooling products in Europe. We are committed to ensuring that these technologies not only meet rigorous safety standards but also improve the competitiveness of the sector and strengthen European energy autonomy. As we face the complexities ahead, collaboration will be key. Together, we can harness innovation to create sustainable solutions that align with our environmental goals while supporting economic growth. I look forward to working alongside each of you to advance our shared mission.”
