Brief Introduction of the Report
As digital systems increasingly underpin global innovation, a pressing challenge arises: how do we design infrastructure that is secure, sustainable, and efficient at global scale. This talk presents a new paradigm for digital infrastructure design, viewing infrastructure as a dynamic ecosystem rather than a static technical asset. It explores security through resilience and trust in a hyperconnected world, sustainability through energy-efficient and carbon-aware computing, and efficiency through AI-driven automation, edge computing, and intelligent orchestration. Drawing on real-world examples, this talk challenges researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders to rethink digital infrastructure as secure by design, sustainable by commitment, and efficient through innovation.
