Enel, Leonardo sign cooperation deal on energy, satellite services
MILAN, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Italian power group Enel ENEI.MI and aerospace and defence company Leonardo LDOF.MI signed a memorandum of understanding on Monday covering, among others, satellite services and critical infrastructure protection, they said.
The agreement aims to combine Enel's expertise in energy management with Leonardo's capabilities in security, digitalisation and satellite communications to develop new products and services.
The two groups will assess potential joint initiatives including energy supply bundled with cybersecurity services, satellite-based monitoring and analysis technologies, energy management systems and sustainable mobility.
The agreement strengthens cooperation between two Italian state-controlled groups and could lead to future binding accords, Enel and Leonardo said in a joint statement.
