Voting in view of the November 12 ceremony
Identifying the outstanding contribution that can be made by individuals in support of sustainable development means creating a solid base for inspiration to those who drive change in key industry segments and across the value chain. Reaching out to the entire audience of our media platform to engage our audience well beyond our community means contributing to the propagation of ideas and to the collective development of a new vision.
The Sustainable Development Awards are presented as a result of direct nomination and voting online by the international audience following the Sustainability Summit initiative and addressed by the publications of the Sustainable Development media platform.
The Working Groups activated for the dedicated initiatives on “Future Cities”, “Sustainable Electronics Manufacturing”, “Infrastructures”, “Resources” will validate the finalists, whose names will be announced in September 2012. Voting will then be carried out online by the global community of key experts, pioneering technology adopters, decision makers, and thought leaders who follow our initiative as it increases in impact and reach across the different continents.
The voting page will be published as soon as Final Nominees are announced by the official publication Sustainable Development (www.sustainabledevelopmentmagazine.com). In Munich we will be concluding a year-long investigation on the key verticals explored by the Sustainability Summit Working Groups across different continents.

From Automotive Innovation to Aero Innovation
In 2013 Wise Media launched a new initiative, Automotive Innovation which offers the opportunity to meet and mingle with those who drive change in the industry. Starting with design, looking at manufacturing processes, and diving into the latest technologies and all electronics on board today’s vehicles, we will explore topical subjects as how to maintain competitiveness, examine the performances, as well as results requested and obtained today in the field of automotive components, electronic systems and advanced solutions.
We will explore best practices, inspiring cases of proven success, methodologies and components adopted by one of our prime industries. Automotive Innovation will look at how innovation will shape our future means of transportation, making them reliable, intelligent and smart.
The initiative will involve top brands such as FIAT, Ducati, Magneti Marelli, Brembo, TomTom, STM, Koh Young. The initiative will feature a conference track and live technology demonstrations at the two-day exhibition, to grant interaction with key experts and a direct experience of what is state-of-the-art in today’s Automotive Electronics.
Creating a new chapter of investigation and developing a new Working Group as part of the Sustainability Summit initiative, the Eco Aviation Working Group will be launched in May 2013 and will be involved in casting votes in view of the first Eco Aviation Award to be presented by our community. Leading up to a major appointment due to take place in 2015 on the occasion of the upcoming World Expo, Wise Media has activated these Working Groups for the development of vertical initiatives under the umbrella of the Sustainability Summit.
