Virtual WiT Breakfast Date: Redefined 21th century – Mapping out the new territory by Accenture - 27.04.2021

What: WiT Breakfast Date: Redefined 21st century – Mapping out the new territory at Accenture

When: 27.04.2021 08:00-09:00

Where: Online Stream

Join our discussion with futurist Perttu Pölönen and hear about the technology and design trends that will shape our future.

The past year has poked holes in long-standing norms about how companies operate and how people live. It also pushed a giant fast-forward button to the future. After the huge disruptions caused by the COVID-19 crisis in 2020, companies are looking to get back on course and, importantly, build for the future. The past year also proved to us how technology is truly a lifeline for economies, governments, companies, and people.

We warmly welcome you to our Women in Tech breakfast on Accenture’s 2021 Fjord Trends and Technology Vision together with the futurist Perttu Pölönen, Accenture Liquid Studio Helsinki Lead Karoliina Hagman and Design Director at Fjord Stéphanie Del Rey.

Fjord Trends. Each year, Accenture extensively crowdsources trends in business, technology, and design from different parts of the world to create the Fjord Trends report, which focuses on how people, organizations, and brands meet human needs. This year was our 14th Trends report. We collect the insights from across the whole of Fjord - 35+ studios worldwide, 2000+ designers involved.

Technology Vision. For more than 20 years, Accenture has developed the Technology Vision report to identify emerging technology trends that will have the greatest impact on organizations in the coming years. Technology Vision is based on a global survey of 6,241 business and IT executives.

Virtual WiT Breakfast Date: Everything you need to know about calculating your carbon footprint and how to do it – Case Sweco - 25.05.2021

What: WiT Breakfast Date: Everything you need to know about calculating your carbon footprint and how to do it – Case Sweco

When: 20.5.2021 8:15-9.15

Where: Stream

As the climate crisis moves to the top of consumer and company agendas, it’s becoming increasingly common for companies to calculate and communicate their carbon footprints. There is no way to measure absolute amount of carbon footprint, but it should be understood, that you need to understand the most significant carbon sources – and start working with those.

Sweco’s aim is to be carbon neutral by the year 2035 and that is why Sweco has now calculated its own carbon footprint. Join us to hear about Sweco’s results and process – this is how we did it. In the event you will hear about carbon footprint and how to measure it. We will show you our results – and what we are going to do next.

Speakers:

Mia Andelin is an expert on sustainability in built environment and is passionate about business development in sustainable manner. She works in Sweco as Chief Sustainability Officer leading the organization to be leader in providing sustainable solutions.

Päivi Hakoma has several years of experience in built environment as quality and environmental manager. She has worked as project manager in Sweco’s carbon foot printing and is keen to put things rolling to achieve carbon neutral Sweco 2035 at latest.

The language of the event is English.

Stay tuned for the registration link on may 5th.

Sweco plans and designs the sustainable communities and cities of the future. Together with our clients and the collective knowledge of our 17,500 architects, engineers and other specialists, we co-create solutions to address urbanization, capture the power of digitalization, and make our societies more sustainable.
