Summary: | This paper aims to identify the role and place of information and communication
technology in Romania (ICT), the interest for innovation expressed in this field and the extent to
which it relates to environment protection. The concern for the state of the ecosystem is growing,
nevertheless it requires the active involvement in the innovation process so as to find solutions for the
replacement of the old production techniques with new ones, environmentally friendly. ICTs in their
spectacular evolution play a major role in this case. Frequently, they are present in all the production
stages, from design to distribution of the final product. Starting from the above mentioned facts, the
introduction of this paper presents the concept of green ICT and their implication in the economic and
social development, as well as statistics data elaborated by international companies which are meant
to increase their importance. In this section we include the objectives and prior work. We continued
our research by presenting the way in which Romania gets involved in ICT innovation and
environment technology, as green ICT stands at the junction between the two fields. The main
conclusions and results are drawn in the end of the article. The value and implications of our research
is in the area of green ICT innovation. |
