The hour of 5G

Is there anything in our lives that moves faster than technology? It would be hard to find anything to rival it. Today, it is an essential part of our world. In a hyperconnected world where something happening in one place can affect the rest of the world, we lead our lives through our screens. When 5G finally becomes a reality, this connection will be even stronger.

Agustí Jardí Margalef, Director of the Consulting Area at Apogea: 'Collaboration with Elewit allows us to apply our expertise in a technological innovation environment for the planning and management of the electrical transmission grid.'

Apogea is a technology engineering and consulting company specialised in the AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations) sector. Focused on developing GIS (Geographic Information System) and BIM (Building Information Modelling) software solutions, it provides digital tools that optimise the design, planning, and management of infrastructure and assets in this sector.

Building the future of offshore energy with the development of zero-emission electrical substations

Within the context of the energy transition and the promotion of sustainable solutions to enable renewable electricity generation in the marine environment, the ECOFOSS project stands out as a key advancement in the research and development of high-voltage floating infrastructures. The project aims to design and test at scale a zero-emission high-voltage floating offshore electrical substation, suitable for transmitting large electrical generation capacities (between 400 and 500 MW) at voltage levels of 220 kV. 

Marta Landeira Santos, director of R&D at SAPREM: “The future of environmental conservation in the electricity sector lies in automation, digitalisation and the use of artificial intelligence”.

SAPREM (Sociedad Anónima de Preformados Metálicos) provides innovative, high-quality solutions for electrical, telecommunications and railway infrastructure with the goal of making them safer, more efficient and more sustainable.

Mónica Puente Ferreras, Chairwoman of Futured: 'The great challenge of the energy transition will be achieved through continuous dialogue between the various agents of the ecosystem'

The Spanish Technology Platform for Electricity Grids, Futured, is promoted by the Ministry of Science and Innovation through the State Research Agency. It was established in October 2005 with the aim of fostering the technological development of the electricity grid to achieve the objectives of the energy transition. 

Elewit drives the development of both hyperloop and new electrification technologies deployed by Zeleros

Through its Corporate Venture Capital arm, Elewit supports the development of new business models aligned with the energy transition and Redeia’s strategic goals.

Elewit, Red Eléctrica and Anisopter Insightful Research have registered a new support design for high-voltage lines

In the electrical system, energy is primarily transmitted through overhead lines and their supporting structures (transmission towers), which are necessary to hold the conductors and maintain safety distances.

Elewit, in collaboration with Red Eléctrica and SAPREM, performs a field test of a prototype of a semi-automatic spiral bird guard dismantling system.

Bird guards are devices that improve the visibility and detection of power lines by birds, reducing the likelihood of collision with them.  Red Eléctrica, thanks to both its commitment to the conservation of birdlife and as part of its compliance with current law, installs various types of these devices on its lines to improve the safety and protection of birdlife.  

Elewit boosts the activity of its Corporate Venture Capital vehicle with four major operations

Elewit, Redeia's technology platform, has boosted its corporate venture capital (CVC) activity in 2024 by adding three new startups —Splight, Unusuals, and Stellar— to its portfolio of investee companies and by committing as an anchor investor in the Adara Ventures Energy I investment fund. Through these four new operations, Elewit has consolidated its position in the market as a strategic investor in emerging technologies that are key to the sustainable future of the electricity and telecommunications sectors. 

Fabrán Varas, technical director of CTA: 'A company that doesn’t innovate either doesn’t exist or will soon cease to exist'

Corporación Tecnológica de Andalucía (CTA) has a clear objective: to make companies more competitive through innovation. Indeed, its foundational mission is to drive R&D+i, as well as the transfer of technology and knowledge.
