The Roundtable on Technologies for Sustainable Development was an event that brought together renowned experts from major fields to address challenges and explore innovative solutions. With two panels of discussions focused on the topics “Technologies for Sustainable Development: New Paradigms, Education, Application, and Success Stories” and “Technologies for Sustainability Applied to Tourism: Destinations and Marketing”, the event provided a valuable space to share knowledge and experiences.

At the beginning of the event, the importance of today’s sustainable technologies was highlighted. The participants recognised the need for an approach to address global challenges, including the climate crisis, resource scarcity and the loss of biodiversity. It was emphasised that technological innovation plays a key role in creating effective solutions and promoting sustainable development.

In the first panel, “Technologies for Sustainable Development: New Paradigms, Education, Application, and Success Stories”, the experts addressed the need for new paradigms in the way we think about sustainable development. The importance of education to promote awareness and action in the field was pointed up. Technological advances, such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of things and renewable energy, were explored within the panel, concluding that they are key tools to address the challenges of sustainable development.

The second panel, “Technologies for Sustainability Applied to Tourism: Destinations and Marketing”, discussed the role of technologies in sustainable tourism. The experts emphasised the importance of providing technological solutions to promote sustainable tourist destinations and reduce the negative impact that tourism has on the environment and local communities.

Several areas were explored, such as the intelligent management of natural resources, the promotion of sustainable mobility, the use of information and communication technologies to improve the tourist experience, and the development of sustainable marketing strategies. The participants shared success stories and discussed the opportunities and challenges facing the tourism sector on its path towards sustainability.

It was an enriching event that brought together expert leaders in both fields. Crucial issues were addressed, knowledge was shared, and innovative technological solutions were explored to promote sustainable development in different sectors and tourism.

The discussion and exchange of ideas during the Roundtable helped to head towards a more sustainable and responsible future.
