eco – Association of the Internet Industry & Alliance for the Strengthening of Digital Infrastructures invite you to an exclusive presentation and publication of the study "Digital Transformation for More Sustainability: The Positive Impact of Digital Technologies and Infrastructure on the Carbon Footprint of Industry and Society".

This study examines the overall effects of digital transformation on the Industrial, Urban (city) and Rural (rural living and farming) levels, which contribute to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions and more resource efficiency. Further potential lies in the application of innovative technologies and developments in the areas of data transmission and data storage.

Ongoing climate change, resource scarcity and demographic developments pose major challenges for our world. One thing is certain:

The internet economy is part of the solution.

Whether CO2 reduction through smart city concepts, efficiency increases in industrial production, optimisation in mobility and logistics or through approaches of so-called smart farming - everywhere digital infrastructures, digital technologies and applications help concretely to reduce CO2.

Digitalisation and sustainability are therefore two sides of the same coin.

Therefore we also want to discuss the right framework conditions for strengthening Europe as a digital location with political decision-makers and put the numerous legislative initiatives and approaches in a context that enables a sustainable digital transformation.

The #JOINTHESOLUTION Summit brings together stakeholders from the internet industry, academia, politics to discuss the potential solutions that digitisation offers for the pressing issues of our time and the political and societal conditions that must be met in order to leverage this potential.
