IoT and sustainability

The Internet of Things (IoT) allows for extensive monitoring and control of daily life, but each sensor requires power and eventually disposal. Considering the push for a sustainable world, is the IoT part of the solution, or part of the problem? Join us at the next CSEM & Innovaud Tech-Talk to discuss this vital topic. Along with a distinguished panel of speakers we will explore how IoT is tackling these challenges today, as well as addressing what needs to be done to achieve sustainability in the future.

The Internet of Things (IoT) offers unprecedented possibilities to monitor and control our everyday lives. In the present context of declining availability of natural resources and rising environmental concerns, tracking, sensing, and monitoring solutions are becoming essential to save resources and energy. These capabilities are provided by a plethora of IoT solutions not only addressing goods and processes, but also comfort, health, and security.

On the other hand, the deployment of tens of billions of connected sensors is becoming a challenge, both economically and environmentally; every sensor needs to be powered, operated, and disposed of. Considering the push for a sustainable world, is the IoT part of the solution, or part of the problem?

What are the possible paths toward the implementation of a more sustainable IoT and electronics?

Join us at the next CSEM & Innovaud Tech-Talk to discuss this vital topic. Along with a distinguished panel of speakers we will explore how IoT is tackling these challenges today, as well as addressing what needs to be done to achieve sustainability in the future.

Venue: The event will take place at Best Western Plus Hotel Mirabeau, Avenue de la Gare 31, 1003 Lausanne

Language: This event will be held in English only.
