AI is rewriting the economics of data infrastructure. Cooling can determine who wins.

The data center industry has world-class cooling technologies, but no independent intelligence layer to help the ecosystem evaluate them consistently. CoolantsIQ combines continuous primary research, independent analysis and industry collaboration to help suppliers, hyperscalers, operators and investors make better long-term cooling decisions with confidence. Our ambition is to become the industry's independent Center of Excellence for data center cooling.

Independent Intelligence
CoolantsIQ provides the market intelligence needed to reduce risk, identify opportunity and make better decisions.
The Four Pillars of CoolantsIQ Intelligence
Primary Research
Structured interviews with technology specialists, suppliers, hyperscalers, operators, investors and industry associations, refreshed continuously rather than at annual survey intervals.
Independent Analysis
Like-for-like benchmarking across immersion, direct-to-chip and air, using a consistent scoring framework applied to every solution — not vendor-supplied comparisons.
Regulatory Intelligence
Tracking of global standards, chemical restrictions and emerging policy, mapped to the specific formulations affected.
Market Intelligence
Technology adoption, supplier capability and supply-chain concentration, tracked across key markets.

CoolantsIQ brings together research, intelligence and industry collaboration to help the ecosystem make better-informed decisions—and our ambition is to become the industry's independent Center of Excellence for data centre cooling.
