Founder & CEO
Project Ohm
Western Australia

Matthew Meszaros is the Founder and CEO of Project Ohm, a deep-technology startup addressing one of the most pressing challenges in Australia’s energy transition: how to align rapidly growing AI demand with variable renewable energy supply. Project Ohm develops flexible, grid-interactive AI compute nodes that act as controllable demand, dynamically adjusting to renewable availability and market signals.

With more than 20 years’ experience spanning telecommunications, cloud, IoT, and artificial intelligence, Matthew has built and scaled technology teams, advised enterprises on digital transformation, and led successful startup ventures recognised on Australia’s Fast 100 lists.

Through Project Ohm, Matthew is working with partners such as the University of Western Australia and leading technology integrator Xenon Systems to drive to a pilot a first-of-its-kind system in Western Australia. The initiative aims to relieve grid congestion, reduce curtailment, and create a pathway to a sustainable, low-carbon “green cloud” powered by excess renewable energy.

As global grids struggle to absorb excess renewables and data centres consume more fossil-fuelled electricity, Project Ohm offers a new approach. By deploying small, decentralised AI computing nodes powered by stranded renewable energy, and using AI to schedule workloads based on real-time energy availability. This session will explore how rethinking infrastructure at the intersection of AI and renewables can unlock global benefits, starting at the edge.
