Think Digital

With buildings being responsible for nearly half of the EU’s total energy consumption and 36% of all EU greenhouse gas emissions, energy renovation and retrofitting measures will be crucial in tackling the transformation towards a carbon-neutral and digital Europe. In the context of the Renovation Wave Strategy as well as the planned overhaul of the current Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, the EU’s unprecedented recovery package adopted earlier this year presents a unique opportunity. The €672,5 billion strong fund aims to accelerate Europe’s green and digital transition while mitigating the economic and social impact of the COVID-19 crisis. With the recovery fund, targeted investments will allow companies to develop and scale innovative projects such as digital solutions for smart and energy efficient buildings of the future.

"Think Digital!" 2020 is a project by the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung and the Zentralverband Elektrotechnik- und Elektronikindustrie (ZVEI). In a series of high-level political events in Brussels throughout 2020, we will bring together representatives from the European Institutions, think tanks, research institutions, civil society and the private sector.
