🌿 Digitalization and Sustainability - @DINAcon 2024 in Bern

@OpendataCH and the @prototypefundch were proud to participate in DINAcon 2024, Switzerland's key conference on digital sustainability. We were contributing to the conversation with:

1️⃣ A presentation: β€œWith prototypes to sustainable digitalization”

2️⃣ A panel discussion: β€œHow sustainable is digitalization really?”

πŸ“’ Stay tuned for news on our upcoming @prototypefundch funding round on Sustainable Digitalization.

A hot topic of this year’s Swiss IGF was the ecological footprint of digitalization. A discussion between Jan Bieser (Berner Fachhochschule BFH), Dr. Mira Wolf-Bauwens (IBM Research) and our director @florihas delivered valuable insights. The panelists agreed that after several decades of optimism about efficiency and technology, it is now time to take account of the rebound effects and ecological costs. Technology should only be used where it actually adds a net value. https://prototypefund.opendata.ch/2024/08/05/swiss-igf-how-do-net-zero-and-digital-transformation-come-together/
