AVEVA launches ‘Radical Collaboration’ documentary in partnership with CNBC highlighting the need for systemic change

AVEVA, a global leader in industrial software driving innovation and sustainability, has launched a documentary titled ‘Radical Collaboration’ in partnership with CNBC, exploring how digitalisation and industrial intelligence can drive decarbonisation across industries.

The short film discusses how climate change is the most urgent challenge of our time and how collaboration across different sectors is the key to driving measurable decarbonisation. The documentary explores how digitalisation is enabling new ways of working, combining information with human ingenuity to unlock greater efficiency. It also demonstrates how action on reducing energy use and emissions can spark new opportunities for growth, while boosting commercial resilience, competitiveness and long-term success.  

“AVEVA has been partnering with industry for over 50 years. Today, companies face their toughest test as this generation looks to tackle climate change. Climate change is a complex problem that is difficult to deal with in silos. A concerted action from industries, governments and technology leaders is the only way we will unlock systemic change and reduce carbon emissions,” states Caspar Herzberg, CEO, AVEVA.  

The documentary also gives both in-the-moment examples of companies driving change, such as Henkel as well as organisations that are building a net-zero future, such as Highview Power. The film spotlights innovations like Highview Power’s long-duration energy storage, enabled by AVEVA’s platforms, as solutions built for tomorrow’s decarbonised energy systems. It also discusses how transformative technologies such as AI, digital twins and IIoT are revolutionising infrastructure by enabling smarter design, simulation and optimisation.

“We envision a world where there is a hyper-connected value chain across critical infrastructure and industrial manufacturing. In order to drive this change, we need to capitalise on the increasing use of tools and technologies like artificial intelligence to help solve the world’s problems at scale,” comments Rob McGreevy, chief product officer, AVEVA.

“Solving the climate crisis is one of the defining issues of our time. We have an incredible opportunity at AVEVA to leverage technology to do so and to help bring others together. Everybody has to play a role to get to that better future,” adds Lisa Wee, chief sustainability officer, AVEVA.
