| EIA 2020 theme: Reclaim the future
Ericsson is committed to making a real impact, that’s why our challenge for 2020 is to support a new generation of innovators to find solutions to the current climate change crisis focused on how ICT/technology solutions can provide radical climate change mitigation for consumers and industry alike. Information Communication Technology (ICT) refers to technologies that provide access to information through telecommunications. It is similar to Information Technology (IT), but focuses primarily on communication technologies. This includes the internet, wireless networks, cell phones, and other communication mediums. |
|
||||||
| In relation to our theme, it has been shown that ICT solutions have a calculated potential to reduce the global greenhouse gas emissions by up to 15%.
Be the one to act. To face the truth. To innovate. Be the one to reclaim the future. |
