INSIGHT ISSUE 02 | 2021

19 INSIGHT | Tracking the Future IoT device was rolled out in pilot projects in Europe and the U.S. It is now being adopted by customers in both regions. Alesea will be used by Prysmian Group in its German corridors project, where it is installing hundreds of kilometers of high voltage underground cables to bring electricity fromwind farms in the North Sea to cities and factories in Germany’s south. A second start-up created by Corporate Hangar in 2019, Kablee, got up and running in 2020. It is a digital platform that helps Prysmian enter newproject areas where it is not present, and to provide services that makes Prysmian’s offerings more sustainable, like connectivity for rural areas and reselling of unused and also scrapped cables. Corporate Hangar also launched Cultifutura, an “urban farming” start-up, in 2020, giving people access to their own vertical hydroponic garden in their home or office. The start-up’s goal of reducing CO 2 emissions is aligned with Prysmian’s concrete actions in the same direction as part of its goal to become carbon-neutral. Prysmian intends to pilot this system in its Milan headquarters.
