Ideas and innovations for
developing projects that concern the future of the nation, that
is to say that are capable of respecting material resources and
generating added value for society.
This is the spirit of Edison Pulse, the scheme promoted by
Edison and dedicated to start-up businesses, to the world of
research and non-profit, that has now docked in Rome on the
presentation road-show Touring Italy.
To take part in the 'competition' you can present your
project on the ad hoc on-line platform until April 9. One can
follow various phases of the competition up to the proclamation
Nov. 18 of the winners. Edison will offer finalists support
activity and will give 200,000 euros to the best proposal and
100,000 to the winners of the two categories of the competition.
The first section is dedicated to energy: solutions to
favour access and efficient management of new forms of
production, the accumulation and consumption of energy for areas
and productive districts lacking them. The other category
focuses on development of areas, for instance with projects that
lessen the environmental impact, for the energy network and the
creation of virtuous networks.
"The philosophy of the prize," says Andrea Prandi,
director of Edison external relations, "is to stimulate the
innovation of our Nation. Edison already does research
internally but wants to look outside, to help also ideas and
worthwhile projects. I beleive that this is the value added in a
company that is part of Italy's history".
Some of the projects from last year's edition will reach
Expo in Milan including 'Greenrail,' which aims to extract
energy from the movement of trains as well as from solar panels
inserted on the tracks.
