Editorial
Dear reader,
Digitalisation affects all areas of life and business, from mobility to urban development, from manufacturing to construction and from energy production to energy management. Amid the unprecedented challenges these sectors are facing, smart and intelligent solutions have never paid off as much as they do today. This is why in this issue of AFRY Insights our colleagues share their most recent insights on the latest questions regarding digitalisation. How can an energy system based on 100% renewable energy work? What does electromobility mean for us and our cities? To what extent does digitalisation help us to manage, build and work more sustainably and efficiently?
Expect to read both inspiring and meaningful interviews with Francesco Venturini, CEO of Enel X and Roland Lorenz, Head of AFRY Management Consulting. We asked Roland about his view on how the pandemic has changed the world of work and how clients benefit from AFRY's bold strategy focusing on sustainability and digitalisation.
