Following the Commission Recommendation on "mobilising Information and Communications Technologies to facilitate the transition to an energy-efficient, low-carbon economy"  of 9^th October 2009, in a Memorandum of Understanding DIGITALEUROPE, GeSI, JBCE and TechAmerica Europe agreed to establish an ICT for Energy Efficiency (ICT4EE) industry Forum.

 

The overarching objective of the ICT4EE Forum is to link digital technology more closely to EU climate and energy policy and economic development. The aims of the Forum will be threefold:

 

- To demonstrate the commitment of the ICT sector to work in partnership to deliver energy efficient ICT solutions in other sectors of the economy and leadership to improve the energy efficiency of its own processes through delivery of its three year Roadmap.

 

- To help ensure a coordinated global approach from the ICT sector to policy recommendations on ICT4EE and climate and energy policies more broadly; and

 

- To contribute to informed and coordinated policy making in the European Commission, European Parliament and Member States on the ICT4EE agenda.
