The Nexans Climate Challenge is fully in line with the overall strategy of the Nexans Group, where the sustainability is a top priority. A priority that is also integrated to the energy transition roadmap undertaken by Morocco, led effectively by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist him. We look forward to discovering innovative ideas and nurturing their development for more sustainable future.
