What is Kickstart Europe?
Kickstart Europe is an annual business and strategy conference dedicated to digital infrastructure. It serves as hub for:
-
Data centre developers
-
High-tech construction firms
-
Engineering consultants
-
Cloud service providers
-
Infrastructure investors
The event is widely recognised as a key meeting point for companies involved in the design, construction and delivery of modern data entre facilities.
Enterprise Ireland’s Largest Ever Delegation
In 2026, Enterprise Ireland participated as a Gold Partner and brought over 85 Irish companies to Amsterdam.
The delegation represented expertise across high tech construction, modular delivery, engineering and project management, advanced manufacturing, digital infrastructure support services.
This record attendance demonstrated Ireland growing importance within the European data centre and digital infastructure ecosystem.

- Durability and modular adaptability
Graepels’ woven wire expertise allows contractors and project managers to integrate secure partition systems while maintaining ventilation and operational efficiency.
Framed Data Centre Mesh
Graepels Data Centre Mesh; Mesh Walling.
Why Mesh Walling Systems Matter in Modern Data Centres
As hyperscale and co-location facilities continue to grow across Europe, the need for adaptable and secure internal partition systems increases.
Mesh walling systems provide:
-
Secure server cage solutions
-
Airflow-friendly separation
-
Clear sightlines for monitoring
-
Flexible expansion capability
-
Robust mechanical durability
Unlike solid partitions, woven wire mesh supports cooling strategies by maintaining airflow pathways, which is critical in energy-efficient facility design.
For contractors, reliability and repeatability are essential. Graepels delivers consistent quality through controlled weaving, fabrication and finishing processes, ensuring panels meet project-specific requirements.
Strengthening Ireland’s Digital Infrastructure Ecosystem
Ireland continues to play a central role in Europe’s expanding digital infrastructure landscape. As data centre development accelerates, the strength of the ecosystem depends not only on developers and contractors — but on specialist manufacturing partners capable of delivering precision, repeatability and project-ready solutions.
Graepels operates as a manufacturing partner within this supply chain, supporting contractors, engineering firms and project managers with engineered framed woven wire systems tailored to data centre environments.
Our role extends beyond supplying mesh. We support project delivery by:
-
Translating design intent into manufacturable solutions
-
Fabricating framed woven wire panels to exact specifications
-
Delivering consistent, repeatable production for phased installations
-
Supporting modular and high-tech construction methodologies
By combining in-house wire weaving expertise with precision fabrication, Graepels bridges the gap between design and production. This integration allows engineering teams to specify secure mesh walling systems with confidence, knowing the solution can be delivered accurately, efficiently and at scale.
As Ireland strengthens its position in European digital infrastructure, collaboration between designers, contractors and specialist manufacturers becomes increasingly important. Graepels is proud to contribute to this ecosystem — delivering engineered metal solutions that support secure, scalable and future-ready data centre facilities.
