Sustainability and Digitalisation

Sustainability and Digitalisation

Sustainability and Digitalisation

The 2030 Agenda considers that Science, Technology and Innovation (STI)) are key levers for the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS). Their assimilation by companies is becoming an institutional and social imperative that is hampered by a lack of knowledge of the concepts and practices that should underpin it.

These non-delegable sustainability commitments coexist with an accelerated process of digital transformation. Can both visions feed back into each other positively?

Throughout the session, we will review the keys to this new scenario: the fundamentals of Sustainability, its importance in the value chain and some guidelines to ensure that digitisation and new technologies/toolss enable sustainable business practices.

Language: English.

Presented by:

  • Gustavo Romanillos, Professor, Complutense University of Madrid and Coordinator of the Master Tech Cities
  • Paola Uzcudum, Sustainability Guild Leader, VASS

The New World of Code Assistants

The New World of Code Assistants

Despite the media coverage about big tech downsizing, the reality is that the world is still in the midst an unstoppable digital transformation that requires increasing programming capacity. The talent shortage has been a major issue in the sector in recent years.

In this scenario, the ChatGPT revolution and the impact of AI has attracted increasing interest in the field of code assistants. What is the state of the art? What implications are they expected to have on execution of projects and on the technical talent required? Does the alarm that has been generated around the issue make sense?

New Cybersecurity Challenges

New Cybersecurity Challenges

As digital transformation advances, system vulnerabilities are multiplying. The environment is worsening due to the sophistication of attack techniques or vectors such as ransomware, phishing and malware. This compromises the security of organisations and users, increasing the potential for fraud.  

Throughout the session, we will reflect on key aspects: How does the adoption of artificial intelligence affect data protection and privacy? How is identity and access management evolving to minimise attack vectors with the adoption of multifactor measures, passwordless... To what extent is user awareness important?

Learn about the latest trends and challenges facing companies and institutions.
