Information and communication technologies have an increasing impact on nature. They facilitate monitoring and provide politics with reliable data. But IT is also a large consumer of energy, IT ends up as harmful waste and has indirect effects. Instead of having the paperless office, we are flooded with paper and mobility and transport are not only substituted but also enhanced.
Increasing environmental impact calls for new solutions and those countries and companies which think early about the future will provide successful products.
How can we both increase competitiveness and provide IT products and services in an environmentally friendly way? The symposium "Information Technology, Competitiveness and the Environment" discussed problems and presented best practice.
