Title: Making the right investments and technology choices to set Europe on course for climate neutrality by 2050.

Organizations are increasingly looking at new technologies to find the solutions they so desperately need to transition to a more sustainable future. This session looks at how the modern enterprise can identify the potential of artificial intelligence and other emerging digital technologies. What impact will these technologies have on the environment, and how will they disrupt business operations to accelerate climate action and steer a course towards cleaner growth?

Speakers: Jean-Baptiste PERRIN & Sara MOUBARAK from the Invent for Society team – with the collaboration of James HAYCOCK (Brand & Experience VP at Capgemini Invent UK – in charge of Idean)
