Online Seminar with Arnold Offner, Phoenix Contact
July 22 at 8 AM EDT
At first glance, the two major issues in our society today – the fight against climate change and the desire for prosperity and development by millions of people – seem to be incompatible. However, both issues need to be tackled at the same time. The solution is a sustainable energy revolution with an energy system that is cross-sectoral and based on electrical energy generated from renewable sources. Experts from science, politics and business speak of the All Electric Society as the basis for a CO 2 neutral future. In this society, enough energy is available for global growth and worldwide prosperity. The key to this is electrification, digitalization and automation. So, if technology is the key to the solution for environmentally conscious life and prosperity on this planet, then the qualification of skilled workers and engineers is essential for the future of an All Electric Society.
In this webinar, the vision of an All Electric Society will be explained and necessary implementation strategies from Phoenix Contact will be presented. The company sees itself as a technological co-designer of the All Electric Society and, of course, also in the responsibility of supporting universities and educational institutions internationally through know-how transfer in order to satisfy of needs of learners and public policy objectives.
