AfB at CIO Summit in Frankfurt

In october 2022 Daniel Büchle took part at the 3rd CIO Summit in Frankfurt mainly as the moderator of a discussion panel regarding the topic "sustainability as task of CIOs: main fields of decisions". He also offered a challenge in which the participants should get sensitized towards the barriers of IT-refurbishment.

• What challenges will companies have to face in the next five years regarding sustainable digitization?
• With what decisions can CIOs influence the sustainability of companies?
• What technical development is soon necessary to advance sustainable digitization in companies?
• What opportunities arise if companies think sustainability and digitization together in their business now?

These and further questions Daniel Büchle asked at the 3rd CIO Summit in Frankfurt and his guest speakers Thomas Kleine-Möllhoff, Country Digital Lead at Pfizer Pharma, Wolfram Nötzel, CIO of the Stiftung Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister (ZSVR) and Tobias Fausch, CIO at BayWa AG answered. The exchange was very inspiring for Daniel and the attending audience. Among other things, they discussed topics like resource efficiency, green power, cloud services and circular economy, but the focus was also directed towards people and education.
