🌿 Our Collaboration with WWF Italia Continues! 🌿 Our partnership with WWF Italia is going strong! After providing solar panels for WWF Italia's Vele del Panda, we want to announce that we have successfully delivered and installed our solar panels in another WWF Italia Oasis in Puglia, at Monte Sant Elia, surrounded by trulli and ravines.🌞🏞️ This panel and power bank, installed on a historical fire-sighting tower, have been designed to blend in with the tower without affecting its visual appearance. Thank you to our team member Uzay Alp Berksoy, for working on this project and designing the structure! 🙏 The panels, created in collaboration with Solbian Energie Alternative Srl, will power a radio relay, supporting WWF's crucial conservation and fire surveillance efforts. It’s an honour for us at Levante to contribute to this project and support WWF Italia’s mission for a greener future.🌍 Thank you Fondazione Deutsche Bank Italia, Chiara Chirico Pisacane and Federica Iaia for making this journey possible! sarah roati Luca Bonci Sara Plaga Kim Joar Myklebust #Levante #WWFItalia #FondazioneDeutscheBankItalia #SustainableEnergy #SolarPower #Conservation #RenewableEnergy #Collaboration #GreenFuture

☀️Riding the waves of solar power this summer with WWF Italia! 🌊 On July 28th, we celebrated the summer season kickoff at Casa Pelagos in the beautiful WWF Italia Oasi Laguna di Orbetello! We’re thrilled to announce that we delivered the first batch of our solar panels to WWF Italia for the Vele del Panda research cruising project. Our panels will power the WWF sailing fleet, which will sail the stunning Mediterranean waters for cetacean observation and safeguarding marine fauna. This impactful initiative is made possible by Fondazione Deutsche Bank Italia. 🚤🌿 Here’s to sunny days and sustainable energy! 🌱✨ (In the pictures, our founders Sara Plaga and Kim Joar Myklebust, together with Federica Iaia, Chiara Chirico Pisacane, Gianni Bonessi and Valerio Mancino) #RenewableEnergy #WWFItalia #FondazioneDeutscheBankItalia #CasaPelagos #SustainableFuture #VeleDelPanda #MarineConservation
Qualche mese fa abbiamo raccontato dell’Operazione Capodoglio, che grazie alla collaborazione tra la Presidenza della Repubblica, l’Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale di Lazio e Toscana e il WWF Italia, ha permesso di recuperare lo scheletro di un cucciolo di cetaceo spiaggiato sulla costa tirrenica. Dopo un lungo lavoro di restauro, ieri lo scheletro è arrivato a Casa Pelagos, il museo immersivo realizzato da WWF Italia nella storica oasi di Orbetello (GR) con il supporto di Deutsche Bank e della Fondazione. Il giovane capodoglio “Gea” è stato così restituito alla comunità e da oggi potrà testimoniare l’importanza della salvaguardia dei mari accanto alle altre installazioni interattive del museo, che aiutano il pubblico a conoscere meglio i segreti e le minacce che gravano sulle specie che popolano il Santuario Pelagos. Ieri è stata anche l’occasione per presentare un nuovo progetto speciale che ci rende molto orgogliosi: grazie al sostegno e all’iniziativa di Fondazione Deutsche Bank Italia, la start-up benefit Levante fornirà a WWF Italia pannelli solari “origami”, pieghevoli e realizzati in Italia con materiale riciclato, per alimentare con energia pulita alcune attività dell’ente. Si inizierà proprio in questi giorni con le Vele del Panda, le imbarcazioni che fanno ricerca e monitoraggio dei cetacei nel Mediterraneo. Nelle prossime settimane i pannelli di Levante alimenteranno anche altri progetti di WWF Italia. Stay tuned! #FondazioneDBItalia

We are proud to have partnered with SMACE for this summer edition of Smace Yachting! For this unique event, where office teams work while sailing around the beautiful waters of Sardinia, Levante provided SMACE with our ORIGAMI solar panel prototype to generate clean energy throughout the 4-week journey. A huge thank you to SMACE for this amazing opportunity. We look forward to many more innovative projects together! #Levante #SmaceYachting #SustainableEnergy #CleanEnergy #Innovation #WorkAndTravel #Sardinia #RenewableEnergy #Collaboration
Si è appena conclusa la terza edizione di SMACE Yachting. Il nostro ufficio galleggiante ha solcato i mari della Sardegna per 4 settimane e ha ospitato decine di lavoratori e lavoratrici. Come abbiamo equipaggiato il nostro catamarano? Con connessione Starlink di SpaceX e pannelli solari dei nostri super partner di Levante. Grazie a tutti! 👩🏻💻🪸

Levante, known for its advanced solar panel solutions tailored for mobility, like the portable Origami Solar Panel, teams up with RECARBON, a pioneer in repurposing carbon fibers and advanced materials for industrial applications. This strategic collaboration will see Levante's solar panels enhanced with RECARBON's recycled carbon fiber, making the products not only lighter and more rigid but also showcasing sustainability by utilizing scrap materials. Discover the synergy of Levante's solar solutions and RECARBON's sustainable materials at JEC World 2024, the renowned "festival of composites," in Paris from March 5-7.

The beautiful words of our co-founder and CTO Kim Joar Myklebust about the delicate balance of running a business as a family and his thoughts about #CES2024 experience.
Living on the Edge: The Delicate Balance of Running a Business and Family Life. Running a business as a family is an adventure filled with rewards and challenges. It's about making life-changing decisions, living on the edge where business and personal life have to blend seamlessly. When Sara Plaga and I founded Levante, our vision was clear: to grow our business while making unforgettable memories with our daughters and enjoying life's journey together. Over the past three years, we've strived to strike the right balance between working hard and cherishing moments with our daughters, sometimes blending business trips with family experiences. But this time, things were different. The news that we'd been selected by the Italian Trade Agency - Los Angeles Office to exhibit at the #CES2024 Show in Las Vegas was both an honor and a challenge. Representing Italian tech excellence alongside 50 other startups was a unique opportunity for Levante. However, this opportunity coincided with a significant personal event: the due date of our third daughter, just two weeks after CES. This meant attending the show alone, while my partner Sara stayed back, close to her due date. With no one else taking my place and recognizing the opportunity for our company, we made the difficult decision to proceed, knowing the risks involved if our daughter decided to arrive early. As fate would have it, she did come early but graciously waited for my return. Three days after I got back, she made her grand entrance into the world. After two weeks fully immersed in the joy and responsibilities that come with welcoming our newest family member, I now find the time to reflect on the CES experience. CES was an incredible platform for showcasing our solar solutions, made in Italy using recycled carbon fiber. The interest we received was beyond our expectations, leading to meaningful connections and potential partnerships. I extend my deepest gratitude to the Italian Trade Agency - Los Angeles Office Sebastiano Peluso Alessandra Rainaldi Fabrizio Dessì for selecting us, to our partners Advanced Composites Solutions Srl, Solbian Energie Alternative Srl and RECARBON for supporting us along this journey, for my partner Dan Deckert from Sailing Uma to attend the show with me, co-designing and testing our products and most importantly, to my wife and business partner Sara for being a force of nature. And to you, Alma, thank you for waiting for Pappa to come home before you arrived. #CES #Startup #RenewableEnergy #ItalianInnovation #Family #Gratitude
