2021-09-29 , INFORMATIK: main stage
Language: English

by Dr. Dina Barbian, Leiterin des Instituts für Nachhaltigkeit, Wirtschaftsingenieurin und Nachhaltigkeitsökonomin


Sustainability as a key driver in management can be supported and pushed through the help of information and communication technologies (ICT). In this TechTalk examples are shown how ICT can improve environmental efficiency. Specifically, use cases are 3D printing, the digital twin, the use of AI technologies, simulation models, AR/VR/XR/MR technologies, on-demand and aaS models, etc. All these technologies can only be sustainable if the energy for them comes from renewable sources, so sustainable digitalisation can only succeed in the context of an energy transition.
