"The potential of ICT to not only enable a leap in reducing carbon emission but also in making a step change towards a sustainable society and economy is enormous.

In order to realize this potential two aspects are paramount: The first - driving innovation that has impact not only in the future but also in the present. The second - applying and scaling existing innovation broadly. This is only possible through true connection of disciplines and competences.

An Innovative Truth IV fosters exactly that - true value creation through bringing together science, business (ICT and energy suppliers and users) and government. In order to accelerate impact together. "
