Entrepreneur UK's London 100: DeltaH Innovations
Industry: Food and Beverage For decades, the world's biggest beverage brands, Coca-Cola, Carlsberg, and Heineken have poured millions into achieving the impossible: a self-cooling can. They all failed. But one man, a former mixologist turned entrepreneur, cracked the code, not in a high-tech lab, but in his bedroom. Introducing James Vyse: the underdog who refused to accept "impossible" and a worthy number on the Entrepreneur UK London100 list. With no formal engineering background or corporate funding, James dedicated nights and weekends to experimentation. His first few prototypes failed. So did the next fifty. But after 500+ iterations, he cracked it: a revolutionary mechanism capable of chilling a beverage from room temperature to ice-cold in under two minutes at the push of a button. DeltaH Innovations, founded by Vyse, is a disruptive force in the beverage industry, and by reimagining how drinks are chilled, it is pioneering a new era of sustainability and convenience. Beverage refrigeration accounts for 17% of the world's electricity consumption. The Cool Can eliminates the need for energy-draining fridges, making it the first-ever on-demand cooling solution for the drink industry. From festivals and outdoor adventures to high-end mixology, the Cool Can is set to revolutionise drinking culture.

Africa Data Centres welcomes Gold Synergy's self-cooling rack deployment at the CPT1 facility in Cape Town, South Africa, reiterating its commitment to sustainable solutions
Africa Data Centres ( a business of Cassava Technologies, is pleased to announce the successful deployment of a self-cooling rack by Gold Synergy at its CPT1 facility in Cape Town. This installation represents a significant advancement in the evolution of high-density computing in Africa and supports Africa Data Centres' commitment to sustainable, efficient infrastructure solutions. The innovative self-cooling rack, commissioned in January 2025, is designed to meet the increasing demand for high-performance computing while minimising energy consumption. As the region experiences rising power and cooling challenges driven by artificial intelligence, big data, and enterprise workloads, self-contained cooling technologies like this offer a smart and scalable solution. Gold Synergy brings a wealth of expertise in advanced cooling solutions. The deployment at CPT1 demonstrates the viability of self-cooling racks in African conditions, setting the stage for broader collaboration in supporting regional ESG objectives. 'Our collaboration with Gold Synergy introduces new efficiencies in high-density hosting,' said Adil El Youssefi, CEO of Africa Data Centres. 'By integrating this cutting-edge cooling solution at CPT1, we are creating a model for how data centres in Africa can scale intelligently while remaining aligned with global sustainability targets. The success of this deployment positions both Africa Data Centres and Gold Synergy to expand CDU-based cooling technologies across the region, further supporting Africa's growing need for next-generation infrastructure.' 'Our self-cooling rack solution is a game-changing approach for high-density computing environments,' said Fortune Utubor, Executive at Gold Synergy. 'This deployment reflects our shared commitment to energy efficiency and operational excellence.' South Africa remains a strategic digital hub for the continent. With its reliable infrastructure, favourable location, and increasing demand for cloud and AI services, the country plays a pivotal role in the digital transformation of Africa. As enterprises move mission-critical applications closer to home, infrastructure capable of supporting such workloads efficiently becomes essential. The deployment not only increases the CPT1 facility's hosting capacity without requiring major infrastructure modifications, but it also reinforces Africa Data Centres' position as the continent's leading carrier-neutral data centre provider. The new solution helps reduce reliance on traditional cooling systems and contributes to operational cost savings for both clients and facility operators.
