Elecnor Open Innovation Challenge
Elecnor is an international engineering, infrastructure, and services group with operations across Europe, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Founded in 1958, the company has built a strong global reputation for delivering complex projects in sectors such as energy, infrastructure, telecommunications, and industrial services.
Safety and health are core values at Elecnor. The prevention of workplace accidents—especially in high‑risk operational environments—has been embedded in the company’s DNA since its inception, guiding its culture, processes, and continuous improvement efforts. Elecnor is firmly committed to achieving its zero‑accident objective across all activities and geographies.
In collaboration with BAT B Accelerator Tower, the innovation and entrepreneurship hub in Southern Europe, Elecnor is launching a Safety 4.0 Challenge aimed at transforming the way high‑risk operations are supervised and supported. Through this initiative, the company seeks to incorporate advanced digital technologies that enable continuous, intelligent, and real‑time monitoring and alert systems for workers in the field.
The challenge focuses on advancing toward a Safety 4.0 model, where technology acts as an active support layer for workers by monitoring tasks, detecting unsafe behaviors, identifying deviations from established safety procedures, and anticipating risks before incidents occur. The ultimate goal is to leverage digital innovation to enhance decision‑making, improve on‑site safety, and protect people in demanding operational environments—turning prevention into a predictive, data‑driven capability.
Elecnor aims to connect with startups and technology-driven companies capable of delivering scalable, real‑world solutions with the potential to redefine safety standards across the industry.
