Replacing hardware in place for several years with new models can provide energy savings of up to 40%.

As a result, we often have to change our devices because the hardware, operating system, applications, interfaces,

In the ICT hardware and maker community these are called often †hackerspacesâ€. Co-working spaces are effective creation engines for startups as they lower barriers to entry for founders while increasing learning/information sharing.

Trends and Forecast The ICT industry provides hardware, software and services that make up the modern information age,

and open hardware environments supporting social innovation by empowering and facilitating citizens'participation. One of the projects is responsible for the impact analysis of Digital Social Innovation impacts.
