Edison Pulse on Roadshow in the Italian regions

Ideas and innovations for developing projects that concern the future of the country, 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 award promoted by Edison and dedicated to start-up businesses, to the world of research and non-profit. The award was presented on a roadshow in Sicily, Lazio and Emilia-Romagna regions in the country.

To take part in the competition people can present their own project on the ad hoc on-line platform edisonpulse.it until April 9, 2015. 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 country. Edison already does research internally but wants to look outside, to help also ideas and worthwhile projects. I believe that this is the value added in a company that is part of Italy's history".
