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.
Grounding is a common process in the electricity sector that ensures the safety of people, protects assets, and safeguards the stability of the electricity system. The process consists of connecting the element on which an intervention will be performed to the ground to ensure that those carrying out the intervention are at no risk of electric shock.
The way we manage critical infrastructures, such as power grids, is essential for the functioning of our modern societies. However, these infrastructures are becoming increasingly complex and are subjected to significant stress by both natural and human sources. This is why, to ensure they are reliable, efficient and safe, new technologies and innovative approaches are essential.
With over 75 years of experience, Arteche has become a leader in the electrical sector, spanning from generation to distribution.

Air is the most commonly used insulating tool in the transmission grid. However, to fasten conductors in open-air environments, various types of insulators are required. These devices prevent the flow of electrical current between two points, helping to avoid short circuits and ensuring the safety of electrical installations.
As part of its ongoing commitment to driving innovation in the advancement of the energy transition and connectivity, Elewit is seeking startups through its Venture Client programme that can help develop new technologies to address Redeia’s. Now in its fifth edition, this initiative explores new business opportunities in the sector and helps startups bring their proposals to life.
The management of electrical sub-stations is becoming increasingly complex while demanding higher technical efficiency to meet the ambitious goals of the ecological transition. For this reason, Elewit, as Redeia’s innovation catalyst, is continuously developing new solutions that transform the management of the electrical system, boosting its efficiency and sustainability.
Elewit, Redeia’s technology platform, will host the second edition of its DEMO Day on 9 October at its Tres Cantos headquarters (Madrid). The event will bring together professionals from startups, the investment community, commercial partners, and other key players from the electricity and telecommunications sectors.
Stellar Telecommunications SAS (“Stellar”), the pioneering startup for perfect internet on the move, and world’s first company to seamlessly connect cars and vehicles leveraging all satellite, wi-fi and cellular networks, has successful completed its latest founding round. Stellar’s funding, now amounting to €9.3 million, comes from a combination of strategic investors and major public grants.
The management of critical infrastructures, such as the electrical grid, is facing increasingly complex challenges, and artificial intelligence (AI) could be the key to transforming the industry's efficiency and competitiveness. In this sense, AI has emerged in recent years as a disruptive technology with the potential to revolutionise how we manage these infrastructures.
