As the tech industry looks ahead, attaining sustainability through net-zero carbon goals, and achieving a just energy transition will continue to weigh as a huge responsibility for all players. How can Big Tech companies like Microsoft contribute towards all of these goals, not just through their own reductions, but in terms of helping others through their learnings from data science, AI, and digital technology? We speak to Srikant Kadambi, the Managing Director for Energy Sustainability at Microsoft Asia, about how Microsoft are forging new partnerships for new energy, and how digital technologies can make energy systems around the world more intelligent, efficient, and sustainable.

Srikant is one of the renowned speakers who will be at the inaugural Energy Asia, which will take place from 26 to 28 June 2023 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.

With the theme “Charting Pathways for a Sustainable Asia,” the Energy Asia 2023 conference has all our collective futures in mind. How can we achieve decarbonisation, which will require stakeholders to strike the right balance between energy security, affordability and sustainability? The conference will bring together energy professionals, industry captains and policy makers to set and define actionable solutions for this crucial transition to a low carbon energy future, that is both just and responsible. We discuss this and more with Datin Anita Azrina Abdul Aziz, Senior General Manager, Group Strategic Relations & Communications, at PETRONAS.
