I always love listening to Dr. Thomas Solbach's latest #StrategyandInsider podcast. This time even more since my friend Clemens Utschig-Utschig, MBA, CTO at Boehringer Ingelheim shares his view on how #data can drive personalized #healthcare! Please follow Thomas and Clemens when they discuss the key #technologies shaping #pharma's future and the major hurdles to #innovation. Learn why #quantumcomputing is at the forefront, how long it will take to see real-world application, and what other promising technologies will shape the future of health: https://lnkd.in/dUaQw8fR Roland Werner, Dr. Jens Neumann, Dr. Matthias Schlemmer, Strategy&, Jan-Philipp Loch, Markus Schümmelfeder, Bhawna Paul, Andreas Henrich.

Exciting Developments in the Net Neutrality Debate Yesterday’s #netneutrality decision by the #FCC will surely prompt another wave of research on this topic, which I believe is the right reaction to ensure that the issue continues to be debated on scientific grounds. A recent empirical research article by Wolfgang Dr. Briglauer et al. suggests decreased fiber investments, for example. [Link to the paper: https://lnkd.in/d2VBCn7n] Christopher Yoo 's article discusses the nuances of deviations from net neutrality before EU and US laws and compares their interpretations. [Link to the paper: https://lnkd.in/dumJNs9i] I believe the policy debate on this issue is likely to continue by dissecting and addressing the welfare implications of nuanced applications of deviations from net neutrality, such as throttling and paid prioritization. For more insights, here are my previous posts on the issue. https://lnkd.in/dHiaGvCP https://lnkd.in/dWXHgk8W #netneutrality #regulation #fcc #publicpolicy #antitrust  #telecomm #internetserviceprovider #contentprovider #streaming #LinkedInDiscussion #telecom

As I'm working here in a small room at Zurich Airport, I think back to the first book I ever read in English: "The Digital Economy - Promise And Peril In The Age Of Networked Intelligence" by Don Tapscott. I read this book sometime in 1994 or 1995. Since my English wasn't that good back then, I had to buy the book again in German because I was so captivated and wanted to understand it 100%. I have always been fascinated by the possibilities of #digitalization, which has been with us for many decades now and has opened up incredible opportunities for efficiency and flexibility. I am grateful for this and still thrilled that a stable 5G connection gives me incredible flexibility in my choice of work location. Even waiting times - like now - can be used efficiently and in a results-oriented way. Personally, I'm always open to any further steps we take here, whether it's #blockchain or #AI. We should always see these technological steps as an opportunity and make the best possible use of them. Especially in the area of transforming our energy supply, I still see incredible opportunities that will enable us to move towards an all-electric society. We should look positively to the future.

With #COP29 kicking off this week, once more we’re made aware of the need to invest in the acceleration of the green transition.   With this in mind, CDP, Deutsche Bank and my colleagues Radka Margitova, Cornelia Neumann, Dr. Matthias Witzemann and I brought together #sustainability and #finance leaders in Frankfurt to discuss the key challenges companies are facing when it comes to climate adaptation:   The Implementation Gap 87% of European businesses have active emission targets, but only 1 in 5 companies have made necessary substantial changes to their business models.   The Investment Gap 70% of European companies align less that a quarter of the capital expenditure (CapEx) with the transition to an ecologically sustainable business model. The energy, steel and automotive industries already allocate over 50 percent of the CapEx to green investments, but even this is not sufficient.   The Capital Access Gap A third of companies identify access to financing as the main challenge in implementing climate targets. Over 50% of companies in capital-intensive sectors (e.g. energy, oil and gas, transportation) are experiencing difficulties in terms of financing.   If you want to find out what’s needed for European companies to drive the climate transition and meet net-zero goals, check out our joint report with CDP: https://owy.mn/3TREeRc   Torun Reinhammar Jörg Eigendorf   #OWClimate #GreenFinance

More efficient code for greater sustainability The Federal Environment Agency has developed a catalog of criteria for software. It enables companies, authorities and researchers to assess software on the basis of measurable criteria and obvious characteristics. Another research objective was to compare the environmental impact of software products with similar functionality. The agency developed so-called standard usage scenarios, a measurement method and supporting tools. With their help, it is possible for the first time to measure the proportion of energy and hardware resources used by software products. We have used case studies to test whether the methodology and tools are robust and meaningful. Findings are: Software products of the same type that are used for the same functions have very different energy requirements and place different demands on the hardware. For example, the energy requirements of two word processing programs differ significantly. Word processing program A consumed almost four times as much energy on the same hardware to process the same standard usage scenario as the comparable word processing program B. The more efficient word processing program B uses less hardware than word processing program A. Also the coding language per se has an impact.. #SoftwareDevelopment #GreenIT #Cloud #CloudFirst https://lnkd.in/e2jfmA2x

How can we harness the transformative power of technology to empower Europe's enterprises and organizations? This question is central to the new TECH platform, an initiative by Handelsblatt Media Group and Schwarz Digits, with #BCG alongside Dassault Systèmes, SAP and Christ&Company as one of the proud founding partners. I recently had the privilege to join the first delegation with a group of digital and tech leaders at #WebSummit2024 in Lisbon. The exchange offered insights into the key ingredients for building thriving tech ecosystems. For me it is clear: Collaboration is one of the most essential pillars for driving innovation. TECH will be much more than a conference—it’s a European platform designed to drive meaningful discussions and tangible progress in fields like #AI, #Quantum Computing, Digital #Sovereignty, and #HealthTech. With the inaugural TECH Conference set for May 25–27, 2025, in Heilbronn, Germany, we’re creating a space for industry leaders, academics, policymakers, and innovators to come together and shape the future. 🤝 As Europe navigates rapid transformation, this platform is a call to action for leaders to unite, collaborate, and unlock the immense potential of technology for our shared future. 📅 Save the date and learn more: https://tech-europe.org/

"A Critical Review of the Digital and Green Twin Transitions. Implications, synergies and trade-offs", published now in December 2024 by the European Commission. 👇 This working paper examines the interplay between #digital and green transitions, highlighting their mutual influence. It explores #digitalisation's benefits, such as improved efficiency and dematerialisation, alongside challenges like rebound effects, energy use, and e-waste. It also assesses adoption trends, revealing that large companies often pursue both transitions, despite #digitalisation being more prevalent.
