How can cities, businesses and industries boost growth in the face of resource scarcity? Firstly, they can start by measuring their consumption in order to manage it more effectively. Then, all of us can to move away from a linear model of consumption. We can accelerate this transition today, thanks to IoT*, the digital revolution.At Veolia, we are the first to monitor and to optimize water, energy and material flows in real-time. We are developing smart monitoring centers called Hubgrade relying on connected products and artificial intelligence. With these centers, we are creating new jobs and business opportunities to save resources.Hubgrade boosts energy efficiency and water conservation measures. It optimizes material recovery and maximizes the use of renewable energy. However, this is only possible, with the focus on the human factor. * IoT – Internet of Things
