10:45 - 12:30 The future of programmable droplets Microfluidic devices provide a more convenient and cost-effective way to conduct biochemical, biological, or medical experiments. Instead of manually doing experiments and tests in a fully equipped lab using expensive lab equipment and human resources, these devices allow to run biochemical and medical experiments on a small chip.
Digital microfluidic devices allow for a high degree of programmability, enabling parallel execution of bio-protocols, dynamic allocation of operation areas, and optimization of sensing and instrumentation, effectively making it the biolab equivalent of a general-purpose computer.
This session will explore the need for new and faster methods for cell design (cell factories and synthetic biology) and a programmable micro-laboratory with the potential to disrupt current practice.

Page 5 by 28 High Tech Summit 2019 10:45 - 12:30 Workshop (in Danish): Digitalization on people. Explore central challenges; digital formation, media responsibility and fragmented attention in the tech area - Organized by DJØF and TechDK Djøf and TechDK explore how digitalization affects our lives – positively as well as negatively. In this workshop, we look at how technologies affect culture.
We will be working with three different themes:
1. Lack of digital formation: How do you behave in a digital world? How do we interpret emojis? What about empathy in a digital world? 2. The responsibility of the media: When the algorithms of the tech-platforms decide what you see and read whom is then responsible? The tech-platforms or the media? Or a third option? 3. Technology fragments attention: How does tech affect behavior if likes, sharing and news feed are what we are concerned about? Can anybody pay attention anymore? Are we all being manipulated?
The participants will be working in a problem oriented and collaborative way in order to give input to the TechDK Commision’s future work on the three themes.
TechDK Commission is organized by Djøf and the aim of its work is to develop applicable recommendations to decision makers in Denmark.
(The workshop will be in Danish)
PROGRAM
Introduction: We set the scene: Short pep talks on the three themes: Lack of digital formation, the responsibility of the media and technology fragments attention
The participants choose one theme: Instruction to the group work: Problem identification: What are the challenges? How can we see them, what are the examples/cases
Instruction to the work: What can be the possible solutions to the identified problems? What will be the effects?
Wrap up: Key learnings from the three themes Thank you for your attention, contribution and time.
Facilitator: Pia Ravn, Senior Consultant, DJØF

14:30 - 16:15 Green Internet - INCOM Project (2) INCOM Results after the first year The global Internet traffic has grown 1000 times since year 2000 and is still growing fast. It is responsible for 2% of the global CO2 footprint and consumes around 9% of the world’s electricity production - but it also abates 1.5 times its own carbon footprint. All in all the Internet has a green liability but is definitively also part of the solution to the UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development.
The INCOM project aims at developing components and subsystems for next generation communications infrastructure enabling IoT, 5G, and Industry 4.0. INCOM embraces key players from industry and academia with an overall goal to accelerate green-growth and investments in the Danish telecom cluster.

Page 12 by 28 High Tech Summit 2019 14:30 - 16:15 Water Technology and Digitalization (2) Digital tools for coastal protection and climate adaptation This track highlights the challenges in hazard prevention in the coastal zone, which needs to be addressed across a range of disciplines within physical, economic and social sciences. Each of the disciplines make use of methodologies requiring vast amounts of data, processing and modelling, and a key output from the project is a digital tool facilitating optimal decision-making for end-users. The track covers the entire range from adaptation to emergency preparedness as well as from present conditions to longer-term future projections.
At the time of HTS 2019, the COHERENT project (Innovation Fund 2017-2020) has been running for two out of three years, and a main aim of the track is therefore to present findings therefrom within technical solutions to climate challenges.
A core part of the track participants therefore also derive from COHERENT. However, to both facilitate debate and external opinions on the COHERENT approach as well as to look beyond the COHERENT timeline, external partners within both technical consultancy and tool development as well as end-user/municipalities also participate in the track.

Page 24 by 28 High Tech Summit 2019 14:00 - 15:45 Powering Digital Transformation through Sustainable Datacentres - Organized by UNEP DTU Partnership Datacenters have an important role to play in digital transformation. Today’s datacenters have the potential to become a dynamic change agent within smart urban systems.
The growth of inefficient datacentre brings irreversible economic and environmental ramifications to the society. Currently, the world's datacentres consumed 3% of global electricity with a growth project to 20% by 2025. These power hungry datacentres now are responsible for 2% of global CO2 emissions, a similar share of the entire aviation industry. This value potentially will escalate to 14% by 2040.
What are the potential threats to the sustainability brought by digitalization? What are the available technologies to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions of datacenters? What types of collaboration could facilitate a green digital transformation in countries and cities? This track aims to bring sustainable datacenter development into the public eye and to spark up a conversation across various sectors and value chains.

14:00 - 15:45 Sustainability and the built environment – Implementing sustainability assessment in building design models Improving the environmental performance of buildings is extremely important and especially for climate change where the built environmental accounts for ca. 40% of global CO2-emissions. Moreover, the global built area is expected to double from 235 mil. m2 to 465 mil. m2 by 2060. Hence improving the environmental performance of buildings is of highest importance if we are to reach global environmental targets as defined by the UN’s sustainable development goals and the Paris agreement on global warming. Along these lines, this track presents the state of the art in development of research and technology with regards to addressing sustainability at the earliest phase of building design. This is done via implementation of e.g. life-cycle based assessments as part of the building information modelling (BIM) which are used during the design of a building.
