How can we shape and grow a green tech sector?

Le 28 juin 2021

The European Commission has pledged to push forward innovation and digitalisation at the same time as reaching climate neutrality. “Green” and “digital” are linchpins for Europe’s sustainable recovery from the Covid-19 crisis. The green and the digital transition are now high on the European Parliament’s agenda.

In a series of roundtable discussions, we’re inviting experts, representatives of NGOs and citizens to discuss questions at the heart of building a green and digital society: how can we use IT to benefit society? How can we advance research and accelerate our climate transition? How can we make sure digitalisation doesn’t hinder our environmental goals?

After the roundtables, we’ll use your ideas to draft a digital green manifesto, including policy recommendations for how the European Union can increase the use of digital tech and reduce its ecological footprint.

Greens/EFA MEPs David Cormand and Anna Cazzini will be joined by:

  • Richard Wouters – Researcher at Wetenschappelijk Bureau GroenLinks, the think tank of the Dutch Greens
  • Claire Downey – Executive at Community Resources Network Ireland (CRNI)
  • Erik Albers – Programme manager for the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE)
  • Julija Kekstaite – Social Affairs Policy Officer at RREUSE
