UNIDO’s Post

💡 Given the symbiosis between industries and cities, the industrial policy and the urban policy are also twined closely. As per the UNIDO #IDR2024, there are 4 #megatrends, some of which are also tangible trends in urban development. This year's #BridgeforCities 2024 event will address such trends by delving into the opportunities and challenges emerging alongside. 🔎 For instance, the megatrend of #EnergyTransition echos the first focus area of the 2024 event, "Transitioning to low-carbon solutions and safeguarding the climate in urban areas", while the trend of advanced technologies like AI shaping 4IR will be featured in the 2024 #BridgeforCities through the focus area of "Improving governance and the application of AI". 🏭 Moreover, "combating poverty and leveraging industrialization's role" is also a focus area in need of attention to the megatrends and formulation of sustainable industrial and urban policies. 🔗 To learn more about this year's #BridgeforCities event, please visit: https://lnkd.in/g_97Ufsi 📅 The 2024 event will take place in the Vienna International Centre in Vienna, Austria from 9 to 11 October 2024.

As high-class professionals in industrial engineering, we at STEM Engineering are actively working on integrating these #Megatrends into our projects to ensure sustainable development and advanced engineering solutions for our clients. Our innovations aim to create efficient, environmentally safe, and economically viable solutions that meet contemporary challenges. #EnergyTransition #FourthIndustrialRevolution #GlobalRebalancing #SustainableGrowth #IndustrialPolicy #STEMEngineering

Happy Earth Week! 🌍 As we commemorate Earth Day, it's crucial to recognize the profound interplay between technology and sustainability. In the journey towards a more environmentally conscious future, innovative technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), and extended reality (XR) hold immense potential. 💡 By integrating these cutting-edge solutions, we can significantly enhance operational efficiency across various sectors. Imagine the possibilities: streamlined processes, optimized resource utilization, and reduced environmental footprint. Connectivity enabled by 5G acts as the backbone for these advancements, empowering AI/ML, IoT, and XR to revolutionize industries like manufacturing, transportation, and energy utilities. Moreover, these transformative technologies don't just benefit industries; they also address pressing societal issues. From mitigating climate change to promoting renewable energy adoption, their impact extends far beyond business operations.

Moving from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0 isn't just a marketing stunt, it's a critical shift towards #sustainability and #resilience, with a strong emphasis on putting people first. 👥🤖 As we embrace #DigitalTwins, #AI, and #IoT, it's clear that our ultimate goal is collaborative human-machine interactions, enhancing human capabilities, not replacing them! With the EU's new "right-to-repair" rules and a focus on circular economies, #Industry50 aims to decouple economic growth from resource depletion. This may sound overwhelming: one more reason not to miss the #IOTSWC24, the innovative ecosystem where experts will discuss Sustainable Automation as a key driver for climate action 💡 Meanwhile, explore the subject in more detail with the latest thought-provoking article by Anna Solana: https://lnkd.in/e32Tqdq5 #DigitalTransformation #ArtificialIntelligence #SustainableAutomation

Is Degrowth an Imperative for Sustainable Development? Absolutely Not ! Here's my take on it. Firstly its just a classical Luxury belief. By leveraging technological Innovations such as AI/ML/IoT, Industries can significantly reduce their emissions, control their losses which inturn would reduce their environmental impact and carbon footprint. Years ago critiques of AI/ML argued : " Digital solutions such as AI feeds on electricity, electricity feeds on Natural resources so AI/ML is pernicious to a healthy Climate" I say, Its utter nonsense. Today our Industries have started using AI/ML and IOT systems intensively to reduce thier emissions and losses. Many products out there in the market. I'd be quoting #AVEVA the technological lead, providing cutting edge solutions to Industries, helping industries in efficient and sustainable operations. Their session on digital Twinning of industrial processes/equipment was insightful. Was really surprised by their innovative concept of "Industrial Metaverse" utilizing Virtual Reality. It was indeed interesting to see the advancements. Thanks Anna Ivanova and Steve Edwards for the wonderful and insightful session #jswenergy
