IoT and Sustainability 2024 Zürich edition

(Cet évènement se tiendra en anglais uniquement)

The IoT has enabled extensive monitoring and control of daily life, but each sensor requires power and eventually disposal. Given the push for a sustainable world, it is important to consider whether IoT is part of the solution or the problem. CSEM’s next Tech Talk will discuss this vital topic with a distinguished panel of speakers. They will explore how IoT is tackling these challenges today and what needs to be done to achieve sustainability in the future.
