Our distinction as a Merit Winner of the 2023 WITSA Global Innovation & Tech Excellence Awards, in the category “Sustainable Growth/Circular Economy (Private Sector/NGO)”, is a great honor for us. The project of upgrading the network of weather stations of the National Meteorological Service for which we were distinguished is very important, also due to climate change. The benefits of the project are manifold, as the meteorological information affects both the government services and the agencies related to Civil Protection. We are particularly proud of the recognition, at a global level, of this very important project that we implemented, utilizing our high expertise in a very wide range of modern technologies, in the field of development and support of Meteorological Radar Networks”.
