Do IOU IoT?
There’s talk on the ground that two things should be considered a basic human right: access to the internet and energy. The argument for both cases is simple. Many fundamental human rights and Sustainable Development Goals increasingly require both either directly or instrumentally to realise them.
This is Schneider Electric’s bold statement at the opening of its Innovation Summit World Tour in Singapore. “Energy is a basic human right” were the first words of an introductory video, swelling over the thematic lime green trimmings. In its second year running, the Summit holds twenty events around the world. The Singapore leg is its largest in East Asia.
