The global energy transition will involve the accelerated deployment of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies. For the most part big tech companies have committed to achieving zero emissions from their own activities. But it is their work in digitalisation, artificial intelligence and information systems that could be potential game-changers in creating the smarter, more flexible energy systems needed to get to net-zero emissions. Hosted by the GBSN for Energy Transition Impact Community.

Join the GBSN for Energy Transition Impact Community as we convene a multi-part virtual series to explore key elements of the energy transition journey, through the lens of the global north and global south. Hear from leaders from academia and industry regarding the enduring challenges and emerging opportunities on topics ranging from repurposing legacy assets, financing, regulation, technology, and the role of business schools in the development of related skills. Sessions will bridge attention to common goals with deep dives into critical nuances that differentiate the energy transition stories unfolding in different parts of the globe.
