DESCRIPTION:A sustainability framework and sectoral digitalization: The cas
 e of energy\n\nEugenio Longo\n\nSustainability Director at Tata Consultanc
 y Services (TCS) Europe\n\nRegister & watch webinar\n\nEugenio Longo is th
 e Sustainability Director at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) Europe. In hi
 s role\, Eugenio leads the TCS European Sustainability Strategy definition
  and implementation\, and provides steering and governance to help the Eur
 ope’s Management team to define clear and actionable goals and targets. Pr
 ior to TCS\, he was the head of Sustainability and EU Affairs in the Strat
 egy and Group Development team of Borealis\, where he developed a sustain-
 ability strategy focusing on Energy and Climate\, the Circular Economy\, H
 ealth and Safety\, Sustainable Finance and Industrial Policy. Eugenio is a
  Subject Matter Expert (SME) in the Circular Economy and in policy shaping
  to advance sustainability-driven business models at corporate\, industry\
 , regional and global level. He played a key role in shaping and advancing
  Borealis’ Circular Economy (CE) strategy and supporting the development o
 f the EU Strategy on Plastics. The Borealis CE strategy was recognized by 
 the front-running New Plastics Economy (NPEC) initiative at the Ellen MacA
 rthur Foundation (EMF) and by the Circular Plastics Alliance. Thanks to hi
 s work\, Borealis sits on NPEC’s Advisor Board. Eugenio holds a Bachelor o
 f Chemical Engineering from 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ (Montreal\, Canada) and a Ma
 ster from the University of Ferrara (Italy)\, in Polymer Science and Techn
 ology.\n\nAbstract\n\nThe industry welcomes the effort done by policy make
 rs\, such as the European Commission\, aiming at building a green digital 
 framework for the energy transition. Digitization of the energy sector is 
 happening and will affect many areas of society. Everyone involved\, be th
 at in policy or industry need to actively play a role and ensure that the 
 transformation will be a success for the society\, economy\, and industry.
  The entire landscape of the energy system is shifting as the industry exp
 eriences a rapid pace of change. With this comes the need for a profound t
 ransformation through digitalization. Digitalization of the energy sector 
 is crucial to meet climate goals and secure a sustainable future\, as it e
 nables greater penetration of renewables\, higher network efficiency and i
 nnovative customer services. There are several examples of where digitizat
 ion can be applied to the energy. With the backdrop of a needed harmonized
  regulatory framework at the EU and the international level\, the governme
 nts engagement with various stakeholders will increase the availability of
  digital solutions in the energy sector. To fully reach a well-functioning
  market\, future legislation should not stifle growth nor act as an obstac
 le for the development of innovative businesses. Legislation should enable
  the market to overcome barriers and allow data flows to ensure that it cr
 eates opportunities for everyone involved. Ultimately\, policy makers shou
 ld help businesses grow and reach digital and sustainable goals.\n\nChair:
  Professor Laurette Dubé (Scientific Director of MCCHE)\n	Co-Chair & Modera
 tor: John G. Keogh (Professor of Practice\, MCCHE\; Founder\, Shantalla In
 c.))\n	Special Panel: A panel will follow with scientists and action leader
 s to advance convergence science and innovation at the food\, health\, med
 icine and healthcare interfaces for addressing challenge and possibilities
  afforded by open-sciences in accelerating world-scale transformation towa
 rd sustainable prosperity. Discussion will also explore how digital transf
 ormation of science\, business and society can accelerate the bridging of 
 seemingly incompatible commons and value-capture logics\, capabilities\, p
 rocesses and impacts.\n\n\nABOUT THE SERIES\n\nThe Convergent Innovation W
 ebinar Series features cutting edge science\, technology and innovation in
  agriculture\, food\, environment\, education\, medicine and other domains
  of everyday life where grand challenges lie at the convergence of health 
 and economics. Powered by data science\, artificial intelligence\, and oth
 er digital technologies\, this disciplinary knowledge bridges with behavio
 ural\, social\, humanities\, business\, economics\, social\, engineering\,
  and complexity sciences to accelerate real-world solution at scale\, be i
 t in digital or physical contexts. Initiated in the agri-food domain\, the
  series is now encompassing other grand challenges facing modern and tradi
 tional economies and societies\, such as ensuring lifelong wellness and re
 silience at both the individual and population levels.\n
