Workstudio Berlin: Future Lifestyles and Opportunities for the ICT Industry – Envisioning Pathways towards Sustainable Living in 2050

In May 2012 an interactive Workstudio took place in Berlin. It involved stakeholders in the co-creation of a vision of lifestyles in 2050 and the different actions that the Information and Communication Technology sector can take towards making these lifestyles and consumption patterns more sustainable. Through its innovative format of interactive discussions, presentations and workshops, the workstudio allowed participants to:

• Increase their knowledge of ICT solutions and business models that impact lifestyles in areas such as health, mobility and housing;
• Build a common understanding of current trends and opportunities for enhancing the capacity of the ICT sector and its impact on lifestyles;
• Explore potential collaboration areas, examine future directions and co-create a vision of how stakeholders can support sustainable living through ICT in the future;
• Network with experts from the sustainability field, ICT sector and beyond, creating synergies for future business development and encouraging lifestyle pattern shifts.
