Thank you.

Thank you everyone for being here.

So today we present our company, HiLite.

We built automated airship for infrastructure monitoring.

And so this is a picture taken, I think that was one year ago.

That was one of our flights that happened in Milano.

At that time we were in Italy for a smaller program.

And basically why do we use airship for infrastructure monitoring?

It's because there is many things to inspect on the infrastructures.

On the pipelines globally, there is the methane leaks, that is a huge problem.

It accounts for 4% of global carbon footprint.

So it's two times the air industry.

So we took a lot of airships that can replace airplanes to reduce the CO2 emissions.

But we can also use airships to reduce the emissions we have on Earth, and

specifically on the methane leaks.

There is also another need, it's to inspect the power lines.

Our network is based, our city, our life is based on the electricity we use.

And those power lines need to be inspected.

Currently it's still done by helicopters.

Because other solutions, other than airships,

don't really fit into this need to fly at very slow speed for

a long time to have the right quality of data.

For instance, so here currently it's done by helicopters.

There is 5 million kilometers of pipelines,

69 million kilometers of power lines to be inspected.

Helicopters are carbon intensive, it emits one ton of CO2 every single hour.

And those are still visual inspections.

So people are looking with their own eyes to the power lines.

And it's still quite expensive, as you know.

And so people try to use drones, classic drones.

And we try to first develop classic drones.

But those drones have not enough flight time.

You can only stay for one hour in the air with a drone.

And so there is also VTOL drones and flying plane drones.

But those are too fast to have the right quality,

the right resolution.

On those inspections, you need to do a stationary flight.

You need to go at very slow speed to have the right quality.

And so that's why on this specific market, airship has a potential.

And that's what we've built, a long-range automated hydrogen airship

to make sustainable flights data-driven and with a cost-effective price.

So that was actually one month ago.

It was our first inspection with our French client, Enidis,

so the power line operator in France.

It went well.

The client is really impressed about the technology

and what we can propose him to replace what they currently use

because they still use helicopters.

And to reach that point of robustness, it was a very long process.

It was... We built six different versions of airships.
