The new TechSense Summit edition, dedicated to exploring the dynamic balance between technological innovation and environmental sustainability, will take place on October 7th, 2024. This special gathering, titled "The Digital Equilibrium Games", will bring together CIOs, experts and thought leaders at the Crystal Park Building of PwC Luxembourg.

A need for Luxembourg to boost innovation and sustainability

Luxembourg stands out as a strong innovator, consistently performing above the EU average in key areas such as digitalization and innovation. In 2024, the country’s broadband penetration reached 115.4% of the EU average, underscoring its leadership in digital infrastructure [1].  As Luxembourg continues to strengthen its technological capabilities, TechSense Summit will focus on how these advancements can drive both innovation and sustainability, positioning the country with regard to this vital conversation.

With the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) now in effect, the intersection of technology and sustainability has become more critical than ever. Companies are increasingly required to report on their social and environmental impacts, creating a growing demand for technological solutions for producing ESG data reporting or implementing Green IT initiatives, for instance, in order to meet these regulatory requirements. [2]

A diverse and engaging program

This edition of TechSense Summit will explore how technological innovation can help businesses not only to comply with evolving sustainability standards but also to lead the way in environmental stewardship. Key topics will include Cloud computing, low-code and no-code platforms, Green IT, and ESG data reporting. Industry stakeholders will illustrate how these technologies can balance technological progress with environmental responsibility.

This gathering promises to be a premier platform for thought leaders, industry experts, and enthusiasts to engage in meaningful discussions about integrating sustainability with technological advancements.

The event will kick off with an exclusive VIP session, including a lunch with CIOs and sponsors followed by interactive workshops (upon invitation only).

The plenary conference, starting at 4:00 pm, will offer:

   •   Keynotes and discussions led by industry experts: 

Prof. Dr. Xavier Pavie, Professor at ESSEC Business School and a philosopher with extensive experience in ethics and responsibility, will deliver a thought-provoking keynote

   •   Roundtable discussions, compelling case studies, and a dynamic fireside chat with leading figures 

   •   A networking cocktail

Whether you are concerned about sustainability or eager to leverage technology responsibly, TechSense Summit is the place to be for fruitful exchanges and valuable insights, and for connecting with fellow professionals and thought leaders.
