3. The Future Of Energy by Eco-Business

With cities set to grow become more populous and densely packed, what is the key to making them liveable and sustainable? How do elements like the built environment, transport, and urban planning interact to create a financially and resource efficient yet liveable environment?

Deeply encoded in the idea of a high-tech, smart, automated and ultra-efficient future is anxiety about jobs, skills, and the future of work. As robots and computers take over a broad range of tasks that create livelihoods for millions around the world, what will the future look like for current and future workers, employers, as well as policymakers? What skills do workers today need to learn to stay relevant, and how do policymakers support their people in a job-scarce world? We speak to Johan de Villiers, country managing director, ABB Singapore, to find out how the Fourth Industrial Revolution can deliver a future that makes life better for everyone.
