Social entrepreneur Ruth von Heusinger demonstrates how capitalism can combat climate change. Her non-profit, ForTomorrow, founded in December 2019, enables individuals to purchase European CO2-emission rights. This makes influencing the European economy's carbon footprint as simple as online shopping.

A physicist with prior experience in renewable energies and emissions trading, Ruth established ForTomorrow to create a direct impact in Europe. In her TEDx talk, she explains the EU emission trading system and how individual actions can make a tangible difference. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

Network virtualization, also known as network slicing, allows multiple isolated logical networks to coexist on a single physical infrastructure without performance or security interference.

Network virtualization, also known as network slicing, allows multiple isolated logical networks to coexist on a single physical infrastructure without performance or security interference. Initially envisioned to evolve Internet architecture, it later provided bandwidth guarantees for cloud applications in data centers.

Now a pillar of 5G and beyond mobile networks, network slicing delivers differentiated services with stringent requirements. Despite significant research over two decades, its end-to-end deployment remains unrealized. This talk covered its genesis, evolution, key challenges, solutions, and the outlook for 5G+ network slicing.
