So how are industries responding to these circumstances? Financial institutions are increasingly making climate change a central tenet of their investment strategies, major companies are going carbon-neutral, and governments are rethinking their energy generation mix. The EU has mandated that central funding is only available to COVID-19 recovery plans that comply with National Energy Plans aiming for sustainability, carbon-neutrality and innovation.

Join us for this Innovation Day, where we’ll share hands-on experience of moving towards a zero-carbon future and discuss the role that we must all play in this strategic shift. We’ll invite keynote speakers and start-ups on stage with expertise in a variety of digital energy transition subjects.

Industries must work closely with the energy sector to understand carbon impact throughout entire supply chains. They will create a strategic role for ‘decarbonization data officers', responsible for discovering, assessing, and making strategic recommendations for reducing carbon impact throughout their entire organization. Huge and unescapable development of renewable energy will also imply setting up an entirely new set of data platform in order to facilitate the deployment of new energy sources and overcome associated storage or demand side challenges.

Participating in our DXC Innovation Day will allow you to:

• Gain insight into how digital transformation affects corporate strategies
• Explore new opportunities for change through data-driven strategies
• Understand how digital innovations such as smart metering, local energy communities, near-real time network management and smart consumer applications will imply new business models and sources of revenues
• Learn how organizations can understand their own carbon footprint and their impact on climate, customers and supply chains.
• Understand how advanced Enterprise asset and service management allows companies to improve efficiency in core business processes
• Get insight in energy management systems and energy efficiency tools
• Grasp how Electrical Vehicles (EV) can be deployed through digital solutions and in itself provide answers to grid constraints
