Real-time optimisation for the infrastructure you never think about.

We're excited to welcome Fredrik Svensson and Alexander Wallin from Glaze as speakers at Techheads 2026. Glaze is a Malmö-based company building real-time optimisation for district heating networks, the vast thermal systems that heat much of Sweden and Denmark but are still run on static schedules and gut feeling.

In this session, Fredrik and Alexander will show what it takes to put AI in control of physical infrastructure. Combining demand forecasting, a digital twin, and real-time optimisation, they shift production in time, ride through peaks, and cut cost and emissions without compromising delivery. You'll see why physics rules out brute-force approaches, where the value actually comes from, and what it takes to move from research to the real world.
