Join us on April 25th!

As digital technologies advance and societies embrace digitalization, there is a higher need for quality education for women to advance in the fast paced and high growth sectors, and this will in turn increase the demand of education for youths especially young girls. During the Covid years, we experience own disruption in our lives and loss of our loved ones. According to the UN SDG EP study, Covid-19 has wiped out 20 years of education gains, and an addition of 101 million youths has felled out of proficiency level of the disruption and negative education impact.

Join Susanna Kass, Climate Change Advocate in Cloud Sustainability to give tribute at IESNET, IES-NTU, Singapore IWD 2022 to frontline heroes and innovators who helped during the pandemic; recognizing and realizing the contributions of women engineers and scientists like herself to stay focused on quality education for women to lead the youth in life learning throughout the Cloud Sustainability lifecycle; concept and design using clean energy and industry standards, build commercial deployments that can yield net positive impact results measured by net zero metrics on each kilowatt/hour consumed and produced.

Susanna Kass is passionate to drive her journey and she faces new challenges on achieving Carbon Neutrality as a Data Center Advisor United Nations UNSDG program, an entreprenuer at InfraPrime in cloud sustainability developments and her focus in APAC renewable energy purchase. Her recent contribution to the European Union Delegation to the United Nations on clean energy standards, Charles Rudd Distinguished Lecture award at the World Engineering Society; she is inspired in collaboration with her clients-industry pioneers who made Corporate Carbon Neutral pledges including Google Microsoft Amazon Apple Meta/Facebook to reduce environmental impact in Cloud Sustainabilty, Digitalization Transformation growth and exemplifying Circular Economy in urban communities where we live, learn, play and work.

The overexploitation of natural resources required to achieve economic growth and development has had a negative impact on the environment while also causing these resources to become scarcer and costlier. Circular economy offers new ways to create a more sustainable economic growth model while digitalization continues to power optimization of resources used within industries.

The Lecture aims to expound on the clear connection within these two trends, exploring digitalization as an enabler to circular economy hence boosting the full potential of circular businesses and industries for a sustainable and resilience future. The free-of-charge Lecture features key issues from both Singapore and international perspectives, a not-to-be-missed Lecture for both the engineering and non-engineering communities.

NEW EPISODE - DON'T LOOK UP! Hollywood's dirtiest secrets - why film-making pollutes the planet and what we can do about it. With Hunter Vaughan, Senior Research Associate at Cambridge University and Author of "Hollywood’s Dirtiest Secret: the Hidden Environmental Costs of the Movies"

Tune into National Engineers Day 2021 and listen to Alberto Ravagni give his insight on the next generator net zero design for Singapore!

Were excited to hear Susanna Kass’ thoughts on unpicking the journey to carbon negative.

Panel Details

The latest IPCC report and Global Climate experts show scientific evidence that if we can't drastically reduce carbon emissions, our planet shall face more catastrophic consequences. We must take responsible actions as global citizens and cloud infrastructure pioneers to deliver on the carbon neutral pledge. Microsoft has led the charge and operated as a carbon neutral company since 2012, and in January, their President, Brad Smith announced the company’s commitment to going carbon negative by 2030.

The journey to carbon negative takes ambition and actions, it requires thought leadership and industry collaboration in each step. In this fireside chat, Jim Collins, Head of Energy Markets, Microsoft, and Susanna Kass, Energy Fellow, BOD of InfraPrime, a net zero cloud infrastructure inventor will share insights and experience of a pragmatic approach of achieving cloud business growth in hyperscale; working around a grid is not green all the time and on resilience of the energy grid that is not at 99.999% uptime performance on how to achieve simultaneous energy resiliency and clean energy sustainability.

Join Susanna Kass — a member of the Climate 50 and Power 100 — on June 23rd for this exciting panel! She will be joined by industry voices from DatacenterDynamics, VMware, and CIRKLA.

Panel Description

The concept of the circular economy is based on the principles of designing out waste and pollution, keeping efficient products and materials in use, and an opposite model to the ‘take-make-dispose’ system currently in place across the data center and ICT sector.

With hyperscalers closely wedded to the sustainable path of IT and hardware reuse, what are the challenges for enterprise developers and operators who wish to partake in sustainability innovation, resource efficiency and recycling? And, are there any enterprise developers and data center operators who have managed to reduce resource waste?

This panel will outline whether the enterprise developers and data center can play a larger role in a restorative and regenerative economic model through innovation and show how the results can be measured by sustainability metrics.

InfraPrime is thrilled to kick back off our webinar series in 2021 with our Power 100 webinar series! We look forward to everyone joining us again.

Join Susanna Kass and InfraPrime on May 20 for her session on Leading with Net-Zero Design.

The European Green Deal's goal is to make Europe climate neutral by 2050. Leading European data center operators and trade associations pledge to make data centers climate neutral by 2030. This session by Susanna Kass, a member of the Climate 50 and top leader in reducing carbon footprints, will share her view that the status quo of building and operating data centers is no longer sufficient. The European Data Center Strategy must rethink and lead with Net Zero design throughout its life cycle to meet these goals.

Join InfraPrime and Susanna Kass on May 19th for her session “Simultaneously resilient and sustainable net-zero data centers” at this years United Nation Sustainable Development Goal Data Center Summit.

Digitization is a chance. But it is also one of the biggest challenges we face. How can we use innovative ways to reduce the impact of our digital infrastructure on the environment?
In this series we present innovators who decide to step up their game and face these challenges. With new policies, technology and - before all - commitment.
We will explore all areas from renewable energy, sustainable supply chains, carbon accounting as well as all other factors that help drive the industry in a more carbon free environment with a more circular economic outlook.
