Community! Did you know that we’ve been collaborating with Enel Grids towards a major objective?
Thanks to Enel Innovability® challenges, aka Enel’s crowd-sourcing competitions, open innovation is taking centre stage in providing sustainable electrical infrastructure solutions for a faster and more efficient global decarbonization. Not too shabby eh?
Right from the start, Desall users have joined Enel’s challenges enthusiastically, so you can imagine how glad we are to announce that 2 out of 3 awards for the “New Design for Sustainable Enel Street Cabinet” challenge have been assigned to members of the community.
These are the Desall users driving Enel’s sustainability mission: design engineer and architect Eugenio Bini, and designers Sara Muscolo & Nader Al-Khatib, awarded second and third place, respectively, in “New Design for Sustainable Enel Street Cabinet”. The first place was awarded to the Japanese technology company NTT Data.
We couldn’t be more proud of our global community of creatives, designers, architects, engineers and more. Not only have you shown a commitment to contribute ideas for meaningful change, but you’ve also proved to possess the right skills and vision to deliver the best solutions. Congratulations to the winners and to all participants for such an invaluable contribution!
