techUK Green Week - Get involved!

techUK has announced a 'Green Week' on 15-20 October showcasing how the tech sector is delivering low-carbon and sustainable outcomes.

From 15 – 20 October techUK is running a campaign week looking at how tech and digital are helping deliver a low carbon and sustainable Britain. Coinciding with Green GB Week, we want to showcase how technology is transforming the environment for good and supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy.

To support the week, we are looking for members and stakeholders to contribute blogs and articles looking at where they see the real opportunities for digital transformation, whether that be AI tools for flood predictions, smart energy products in homes to cut emissions, blockchain enabled emissions trading or IoT tracking of materials.

There are also opportunities to contribute to a podcast. If you think you have something to contribute, please do get in touch. The only thing we ask is that you stick to the daily themes which are:

Monday – Towns and Cities
Tuesday – International sustainability
Wednesday – Land and Natural Resources
Thursday - Oceans
Friday – A low carbon tech sector

If this is of interest, please get in touch by 10 September by emailing Craig or Susanne (details below).
