Startups, experts and researchers in the field of digital traceability, green IT and circular economy will fuel the discussion with examples and potential solutions.All participants will join the discussion within three lively breakout rooms, where moderators will facilitate interactions. We want to hear from you!

Additional informationDigital transformation is accelerating in many areas, and when associated with circular economy principles, it can become a catalyst for innovative and sustainable business models, especially in Switzerland - which has ideal conditions for the creation of circular digital innovations. Artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, Blockchain, and Big Data open up opportunities for the development of better-interconnected products, as well as new and innovative business models: for example, technology enables manufacturers to monitor, analyze, and optimize product performance during the use phase; limit environmental impacts; reduce raw material waste, reduce travel costs, and more. Despite all of these advantages, care must be taken to ensure that the development of digital technologies does not come at the expense of other sustainable objectives like the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions due to the high volumes of electricity usage, reduction of the consumption of natural resources, improvement of job quality, ensuring an appropriate work-life balance etc..
