Career meets Sustainability: Pioneering Industry Transformation

Join us on a journey towards a sustainable future!

In today's rapidly evolving landscape, the intersection of career aspirations and sustainability demands has become increasingly pronounced. As industries around the world undergo a profound transformation driven by digitalization, there is a unique opportunity for individuals to drive change while advancing their professional development.

One way to achieve this is to integrate digitalization efforts with sustainability concepts. We already see this integration in various initiatives such as in energy-efficient monitoring systems, new battery materials or more resource-efficient production methods through advanced algorithms. Today, we are exploring further opportunities that digitalization offers for sustainable product development, with experts from KIT and industry sharing their insights. 

Andreas Fritsch, Research and Innovation Expert (KIT) focuses on Sustainable Business Process Management. In order to effectively manage and improve the environmental and social sustainability of a company, sustainability data needs to be aggregated, analyzed and made available for decision takers. We explore how this can be achieved by integrating concepts from sustainability analysis, computer science and business process management.

Sascha Ott, Managing Director Institute of Product Engineering (KIT) holds his presentation on the implementation of sustainability aspects in the development of new services and products. He will also talk about the Importance of system engineering and visualization in the metaverse for future-proof, sustainable and transformative technologies and systems

Martina Waldner, Senior Consultant at HECTOR School (KIT) will conclude the session by highlighting the importance of technological progress and emphasizing the added value of sustainable continuing education for companies and employees.
