AVEVA to showcase digital solutions for sustainable industrial transformation at COP28

The company aims to forge connections between developed economies and the global south.

AVEVA, a global leader in industrial software driving digital transformation and sustainability, will showcase at COP28 how harnessing data in a connected industrial economy can expedite the journey towards a sustainable future. As a gold sponsor of the International Chamber of Commerce pavilion in the Blue Zone of the United Nations Conference of the Parties in Dubai, AVEVA aims to forge connections between developed economies and the global south.

AVEVA’s leadership team, led by CEO Caspar Herzberg and including Lisa Wee, Head of Global Sustainability; Harpreet Gulati, Senior Vice President, Head of PI System Business; Evgeny Fedotov, Senior Vice President, EMEA; and Nayef Bou Chaaya, Vice President MEA, will emphasise how digital solutions can reduce CO² emissions from existing industrial infrastructure. Simultaneously, these solutions will enhance efficiency throughout the value chain, resulting in tangible cost savings that can be redirected into clean technologies.

Caspar Herzberg, CEO of AVEVA, said, “The world must dramatically cut waste. The industrial sector accounts for a quarter of global emissions. Every day, our customers prove that digitalisation enables industrial companies to drive measurable carbon reductions, including for traditionally energy-intensive industries. At AVEVA, our ambition is to accelerate low-carbon innovation, and to drive circularity and efficiency across the value chain. We want the software we create to transform how industries are designed and how they operate, to accelerate climate action and reduce inequalities. Forging partnerships with businesses, governments and civil society leaders here at COP is critical to build forward-thinking, collective solutions that accelerate climate action, worldwide.” 

Evgeny Fedotov, Senior Vice President, EMEA, at AVEVA, added, “Collaboration is essential to driving efficient global value chains – collective action is also essential to drive decarbonisation. This is why we want to be part of the conversation at COP28 to advance necessary and inclusive climate progress by building bridges across international communities. As a driving force toward a more sustainable world, COP28 is a milestone moment for the world to take stock of its progress on the Paris Agreement. We are eager to engage with world leaders, governments, and our technology peers, to drive insightful discussions on how together, we can accelerate the transition to a sustainable future.”

During COP28, AVEVA executives will participate in various panels aimed at defining a clearer roadmap to a better future through digitalisation.
