Both by Ring #13 - Digital is both a solution and a big problem
Featured with Marion Graeffly, director and co-founder @Telecoop
Dear community,
If you want to hear more about ChatGPT and MidJourney, unfortunately you are not in the right place. Yet, we are here to talk about digital. Indeed, while digital is a strong enabler of social and environmental transitions, it also represents a lot of threats in these areas.
How can we try and take the good side of it while reducing potential enormous negative externalities? A bunch of new models emerge to try and solve this equation and Marion Graeffly from Telecoop will tell us about hers.
This is what BOTH is about: showing how people, companies, investors and institutions can act and play their part in this transition.
The interview
‘Digital technology is necessary to accelerate the ecological and social transition. Our aim is to establish a space where individuals can engage in discussions and debates on these matters.’
Marion Graeffly, director and co-founder @Telecoop
From a business point of view, what differentiates you from traditional players?
Telecoop has taken a step back to create an alternative approach to the digital realm, which is crucially important. It is necessary for building an effective ecological and social transition. However, it is important to note that we are currently entering a phase dominated by a technocratic and consumerist mindset. Nevertheless, it is worth acknowledging that the digital sphere plays a significant role as the primary source of information regarding the ecological transition. In fact, 80% of French individuals claim to have gained awareness about the transition through the internet, which is truly remarkable. Similarly, remote working offers a valuable means of decarbonizing our economy by enabling individuals to stay at home instead of commuting by car.
