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.

The Nexans Climate Challenge provides a collaborative platform that brings together stakeholders from academic circles, research, industry, startups, and civil society. This initiative fosters the exchange of expertise and knowledge, promoting sustainable development.

Candidates are invited to submit their projects in several categories: renewable energies, environment and sustainable development, energy services, energy efficiency, sustainable agriculture, and industrial ecology. A panel of experts from Nexans, alongside specialists from the energy and climate sectors, will evaluate the projects, based on criteria that include environmental impact, degree of innovation, economic viability, and feasibility.

The winners of the “Nexans Climate Challenge” will receive financial support and personalized assistance to further develop their innovations. They will be rewarded at the 4th edition of Climate Day, an event hosted by the Nexans Group in Morocco, on September 26, 2024.

Applications for the second edition of the Nexans Climate Challenge are open until June 15, 2024. Participants are encouraged to submit their projects using the following link: Nexans
