  Smart Society

  E104+E105
  9:00 - 10:30 hrs.

  Once or twice in a century, enabling technologies emerge which are so profound in their impact that they don't just transform other sectors of the economy but have a major transformational effect on society. Today digital technology has become central to our modern global society, transforming homes and offices and the very way we live and work. The 'Smart Society' session of the Energy track will explore how the application of digital technologies is enabling transformational change, urban sustainability and the empowerment of businesses and consumers to reduce energy consumption at a time when energy and climate issues are top of the political agenda.
