Holistic Approach to Future-proof Tech

TIEKE’s executive director Hanna Niemi-Hugaerts kicked off the program of the entire Sustainable and Future-proof Tech track. She emphasized the wide range of factors from climate concerns to ethical considerations that tech professionals and utilizers must consider ensuring that technology will benefit our future in a responsible way.

Green ICT: Building a Sustainable Future

The first session delved into Green ICT, exploring national strategy and how to develop, procure, and compare sustainable ICT solutions. With climate change at the forefront of global discussions, understanding how technology can be environmentally responsible is crucial.

Data and Digitalization Regulation: Staying Informed

The second session, conducted in Finnish, focused on current and upcoming data and digitalization regulations. In an ever-evolving digital transformation, staying informed about the legal framework is essential for both businesses and individuals.

Data and AI Ethics: Navigating the Ethical Landscape

The third session posed the essential question of data and AI ethics. As the manyfold use of data and artificial intelligence play an increasingly prominent role in our lives, understanding the ethical viewpoints and implications is vital.

Whether you are seasoned or new to Green ICT, data ethics or regulation we encourage you to check out the recorded sessions on TIEKE’s YouTube channel to gain new insights of sustainable and future-proof tech. The program can be found on the MindTrek 2023 website.

The Sustainable and Future-proof Tech program in Mindtrek was organized by TIEKE in co-operation with Mindtrek and Coss.

Boosting circular solutions with blockchain

A survey by the Finnish Information Society Development Centre (TIEKE) shows that opportunities that blockchain technology offers are not yet widely recognised. Blockchain may offer significant benefits for certain applications. An example of this are blockchain-enabled digital product passports. They can help sharing product information between producers, consumers, recyclers and regulatory bodies more effectively.
