ENERGY CHALLENGE MOONSHOT CATALYST PRESENTATION
How can our industry lead the world towards carbon neutrality, and in doing so cut energy consumption by at least 25% by 2025?

The Energy Challenge facing the telecom industry is significant, but it also presents an opportunity for the industry to lead the world toward carbon neutrality and reduce its own energy consumption.

We are leveraging the powerful innovation capabilities of the Catalyst program to find solutions to help drive innovation, sustainable growth, and social progress through projects addressing the Energy Challenge.
