In episode two, we delve into the synergistic relationship between digitalization and sustainability.

Digitalization, a journey that began decades ago, has become an essential aspect of modern business, constantly evolving and requiring ongoing attention. Similarly, sustainability has emerged more recently as a parallel path, gaining momentum as a global imperative. This episode sheds light on how these two pivotal movements are converging, offering a wealth of opportunities for innovation and transformation as illustrated through various real-world applications by Dragos and Pierre.

"Digitalization has been the core, it’s a hygiene factor, you cannot do without it. But sustainability has taken more of the stage and it’s like a race between these two subjects for the attention of the management. "
