Abstract
I predict that this decade the failure of green technology to show a manageable and predictable Return on Investment will lead to a shift towards intelligent products, services and even cities that ‘behave’ green by adapting and changing to the environment around them. The megatrend of the last decade — Green products — will be replaced in this decade by Smart products and services.
