Digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) play a key role in contributing towards the  United Nations 2030 sustainable development goals. At the same time, concerns about the risks and challenges related to AI, alongside its potentially disruptive impacts on work, organizations, and societies at large, call for increased attention to the new models of operating and organizing (Dwivedi et al. 2021). Research investigating these issues can guide sustainable development in both the public and private sectors.

All in all, digital continue to change how people work and interact with one another (Matheus et al. 2020). This calls for increased attention to digital technologies' sustainability aspects, impacts, and implications.  As a result, the 22nd IFIP Conference on e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society (I3E2023), sponsored by IFIP WG6.11, will provide a venue for promoting the discussion on “New Sustainable Horizons in Artificial Intelligence and Digital Solutions”.

We invite scholars, practitioners, and research students to submit and present their papers and findings to the 22nd IFIP Conference on e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society – IFIP WG 6.11 to be held in November 2023 at Positivo University, Curitiba, Brazil.

The research focus at Business School is innovation, sustainability, strategy, and organizational studies. The PhD program features an Artificial Intelligence in Business Lab ( www.ailabs.info<http://www.ailabs.info> ).

Located in the South Region of Brazil. The Curitiba smart city (www.curitiba.pr.gov.br<https://www.curitiba.pr.gov.br>) is strategic to the investment in new ventures. For this reason, it is the third capital with more business-related visits, just behind São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro. With an area of 435 km2, Curitiba is situated within 100 km of two ports: Paranaguá and Antonina. Curitiba has an International Airport Afonso Pena in the metropolitan region, only 15km from downtown.

Building a vibrant economy. Curitiba is in a strategic position in relation to the capitals of the Mercosur countries, the Southern Common Market that includes Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay, which facilitates the promotion and support of new businesses. It has always been among Brazil's three most intelligent cities in the Connected Smart Cities ranking and was placed among the six smarter cities in the world at the World Smart Cities Award in 2019. In September 2020, Curitiba won the Wellbeing Cities Award, in the event from NewCities and Novo Nordisk, Canada, with the case Vale do Pinhão (Pinhão Valley). Vale do Pinhão (www.valedopinhao.com.br<http://www.valedopinhao.com.br>) is a movement of the innovation ecosystem to transform Curitiba into a reference of smart city and sustainability, developing innovative solutions in entrepreneurship, urban mobility, economy, health, education, and the environment.

Curitiba is a modern, ecologic, and sustainable city that constantly seeks solutions through innovation and technology in transport, security, infrastructure, mobility, health, education, and energy, using the resources wisely. These are essential criteria for attracting business development, creative economy, sustainable development, and innovative technologies. In 2017, to improve the innovation within the city and engage the different stakeholders, the Curitiba City Hall launched the Vale do Pinhão, the global strategy of the city to promote Curitiba as a Smart City, strengthening the creative and technological economy and the ecosystem of innovation.

Notable skyline features include the Panoramic Tower, with an observatory on top. Known as a cultural center, Curitiba is home to several performance venues, including the Wire Opera House, a tubular steel structure with a transparent roof, and the huge Teatro Guaira, with diverse programs.
