INTERVIEW to control structures, corrosion, and slopes, or the development of a control center for remote management, or the use of drones, camer-as, and LIDARs for early, automatic incident detection and to moni-tor service indicators. We improve the safety of our operational teams by monitoring their vital signs and we establish a virtual safety zone around them to prevent accidents and collisions. We’ve also implement-ed AI-equipped ultra-violet disinfection robots that destroy 99.9% of all microorganisms in a hospital area, including coronavirus, within minutes. These are just some of the initiatives developed by our team itself and in open innovation programs with startups. What will the concessions business look like in the future? Infrastructure concessions will be ever more necessary due to global demographic and economic growth and levels of global debt. There’s a need for projects and for management, for capital earmarked for invest-ment, but there aren’t too many companies like ACCIONA capable of offering comprehensive investment, structuring, development, and operation solutions for megaprojects. This will allow our business to gain greater weight. We’ll have a more balanced, diversified asset port-folio with greater cash flow generation. I envision more digital, circu-lar, and regenerative concessions, projects that are more integrated and interrelated, like solutions for data centers powered by 100% renewable energy, whose heat is made use of by a district heating network that helps a city to decarbonize. Or urban transport with self-driving vehi-cles, which we’re already working on and which could be a reality in just four or five years, much earlier than expected. projects and trends Fargo Canal, USA. 48 kilometers of infrastructure to mitigate the flooding effects of climate change. ACCIONA’s first con-cession in the country. Line 6 of the São Paulo Metro, Brazil. The biggest infrastructure construction project in LATAM undertaken as a public-private partnership. It’s a model of social inclusion and decarbonization that employs over 9,000 workers. Construction and management of Hospital de La Serena, Chile, for 15 years. It draws on the company’s energy-efficient con-struction expertise and, later on, will employ healthcare tech-nology like disinfection robots. Major transmission lines to enable the necessary increase in renewable power generation at the global level. Major data centers, both owned by the group and for hyper-scale clients, which draw on ACCIONA’s experience in con-struction, energy services, and renewable energy PPAs.
