What is Innovation?
December 7th, 2020 | Season 1 | 23 mins 35 secs
energy, how to innovate, innovation, power generation, sustainability, sustainable energy, technology, what is innovation
Beyond its initial jazz and excitement, what is innovation? Thomas and Satish start the debate by covering some of the innovation basics that are relevant to anyone interested in innovation that is independent of your business, market and technology. Topics include discussing the difference between innovation and research & development, how innovation contributes towards a corporation’s sustainability, the tension between innovating technologies at the core vs. beyond the core, practical examples to think about the uncertainty around innovations, and four ingredients of successful innovation efforts.

Cloud to Edge, Energy Footprint of Digital Lifestyles
November 16th, 2020 | Season 1 | 22 mins 36 secs
data center, digitalization, edge computing, electricity, energy, hyperscale data center, latency, power generation, renewable energy certificate
Humankind is forecasted to create more data over the next three years than the data we created over the last 30 years. Our digital lives, powered by technologies such as 5G and IoT, also impact our energy footprint. Join Sarah and Thomas as they discuss how these technologies, 5G to edge computing, empower our digital lifestyles. They will then dive into the role of data centers in our digital lives and cover the differences between hyperscale and edge data centers, energy and electricity consumed by data centers, the role of Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions in reducing the environmental footprint, and how renewable energy certificates work as a decarbonization tactic.
