This is a joint event between the <a href="https://www.one-planet-lab.ch/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">One Planet Lab</a> and GreenBuzz Zurich and is part of digital days events on digital innovation by <a href="https://digitalswitzerland.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Digital Day Switzerland</a>.
Technology will continue to transform our lives, and the growth of businesses will depend upon it. Digitalisation has seen a huge jump triggered by the Covid crisis. Millions of businesses around the world have transformed and digitized at a hyper pace. But where there’s light there’s usually dark, too. So what are the good and the bad sides of this megatrend?
As digitalisation is developing rapidly, so is the demand for energy and valuable resources. The power for our smartphones, streaming services and social networks has so far mainly come from fossil fuels. Some estimate that in just a few years, the digital industry will cause more carbon emissions worldwide than all motorised traffic. In fact, it already accounts for <a href="https://www.ey.com/en_ch/decarbonization/how-digitization-acts-as-a-driver-of-decarbonization" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">4% of global carbon emissions</a>.
But technology doesn’t have to be a climate killer. It can also be used as a force for good, and digitalisation can substantially help in promoting climate change mitigation. For example, digital solutions enable the shared economy, help curb emissions that would otherwise happen through business trips or make agricultural practices more efficient and sustainable.
So on the occasion of <a href="https://digitalswitzerland.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Digital Day Switzerland 2021</a>, we are asking how digitalisation can be a force for good, a driver for innovation, and go hand in hand with sustainability instead of harming the environment.
We will hear from industry leaders and sustainably-oriented entrepreneurs who are all working towards making Switzerland a notable digital innovation hub.
Join our discussion on November 2nd, for which the up and coming tech start up <a href="https://smallpdf.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Smallpdf</a> are opening their doors to us, and get inspired!
