'The Power Behind AI' with Haroon Inam, CEO and Co-Founder of DG Matrix
Our founder Andre Shortell sat down with Haroon Inam, Co-Founder & CEO of DG Matrix, to discuss all things Grid 2.0.The race for AI isn't really about chips. It's about power. As Haroon puts it, power availability is the limiting factor for the next level of intelligence, and the grid was never built for demand this concentrated.DG Matrix is building the power fabric for the intelligence age. Its Interport™ platform, the first multi-port solid-state transformer, blends grid power, batteries, solar, natural gas, turbines and fuel cells in a single device, then delivers AC or DC power straight to data centres. It replaces the fifteen-to-twenty components of a legacy setup with one, cutting cost and footprint, and because it isn't AC coupled to the grid, it sidesteps the two-year interconnection queue and gets permitted in weeks.The traction speaks for itself. A commercial pipeline of over $14 billion through 2029, multi-gigawatt factory capacity coming online in 2027, and a software-defined design that can be reprogrammed for anything from supermarkets to EV chargers to AI factories. The platform is already validated through partnerships across the industry, including NVIDIA's Inception programme and MGX ecosystem.In this conversation, Haroon covers:⚡ Why power, not chips, is the real bottleneck for AI⚡ How one device replaces the tangle of legacy grid equipment⚡ Turning distributed generation into multi-gigawatt capacity in under a year⚡ Designing hardware through software, and using every watt to generate tokens⚡ DG Matrix's roadmap and where demand is most concentratedAs Haroon puts it: "Power is the limit today. It's not the GPUs or the chips."00:00 - Intro00:23 - How Haroon founded DG Matrix02:11 - Why the legacy grid is struggling03:43 - Power, not chips: the real AI bottleneck04:27 - The DG Matrix solution in plain terms06:08 - Designing the grid through software08:22 - Commercial progress and the $14bn pipeline10:26 - Where the grid opportunities are emerging12:21 - Handling a more volatile, renewable grid16:38 - What the market needs to overcome17:43 - Growth plans and scaling production22:00 - Funding and the road ahead If you would like to speak to someone at DG Matrix, please contact: info@dgmatrix.com DG Matrix: https://www.dgmatrix.com Pantokrator: https://www.pantokratorltd.comThanks again, Haroon!
