Introduction

Green engineering is a trending social topic. If the entire industry (especially electronics) develops no solutions, climate change caused by greenhouse effect will never be alleviated. Undoubtedly, green engineering is a necessary drive for sustainable development.

EE Tech Summits, held alongside EE Awards Asia and with the themed Green Engineering: Enable the Vision of Green Engineering this year, will invite senior experts and elites across the industry to share their solutions on how enterprises progress green marketing strategies, create green projects, develop innovative green technologies, or formulate policies beneficial to the green market. In the next decade, nothing is more important than transitioning to net-zero carbon emission and climate change response. Join these summits to embrace green innovation and share development opportunities!
