Achieving the aims set out in the European Green Deal demands action from all actors of the economy. This means stepping up collaboration between industries, maximizing the potential that digital technologies offer us, and equipping people with the skills needed to master the tools that enhance energy efficiency.

Digital technologies have the potential to enable a 20% global reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030 and could prevent 10 times more CO2 emissions than they actually produce. They can also contribute to the greening of the economy by reducing transaction costs, increasing real-time usage of data, shedding light on interdependencies, and creating efficiencies. Digitalization allows everyone to do more with less.

We are talking about saving up to 25% on energy bills, for instance, as AI-enabled systems in smart thermostats can analyze the trends of home consumption, and adjust the temperature accordingly to minimize energy waste.

Digital technologies and the green transition are the future of Europe, the bedrock of sustainable growth and sustained prosperity. To make sure that equality and inclusion are also part of the equation, women need to be part of the workforce that will deliver the objectives of the Green Deal.

Upskilling and reskilling are key to closing the gap, as well as promotion of role models: the women of tomorrow should know that professions such as energy technologist are for them as well, and Huawei’s Beatriz Durao, Junior Electrical Engineer, is a fantastic example of that.
