In 2016, Nomad of the Seas will begin its world tour with the goal of testing and publicizing innovations related to energy self-sufficiency. ENGIE is one of the sponsors of this challenge and has launched a call for projects to invent an integrated, autonomous electricity production unit for less than 500 euros to equip the boat.
The winners of the call for projects will have the opportunity to join the crew on part of the trip and to install their project on board.
Two months before the deadline for submitting applications, ENGIE employees in the Paris region are invited to an informational breakfast meeting. They will be able to to discuss the project and meet other participants and partners in the adventure.
Who will be there?
