Cisco Investments

At Cisco Live EMEA, industry leaders explored Cisco’s sustainability strategy and green tech innovations. 💬 "Whether it’s solving some of the biggest health issues or providing better real-time insights for severe weather conditions, the way we achieve those opportunities is by ensuring we have the clean energy to power them. Now’s the time to invest and make it possible." - Mary de Wysocki, Chief Sustainability Officer, Cisco 💬 "The answers are already out there. Maybe they’re in a university lab, maybe they’re in a small startup—but they’re going to be huge someday. The key is finding these solutions and scaling them." - Jon Koplin, Senior Director, Cisco Investments 💬 "The challenge for the world is to make that energy clean and consistent. I see new energy technologies stepping in here—maybe it’s geothermal, maybe it’s tidal energy, maybe it’s wave energy." - Patrik Möller, CEO and Co-founder, CorPower Ocean 📺 Watch the session: https://hubs.ly/Q038gkVZ0 #CiscoInvests #Sustainability
