In May 2015, Rexel Portugal organized the first edition of ExpoRexel, a trade fair dedicated to electrical industry professionals and the energy world at large. More than 3,000 event visitors, including many Rexel clients, had the opportunity to discover the latest solutions and trends in the energy sector. On this occasion, Rexel Portugal also launched a national university competition aimed at boosting and promoting innovative university projects that bring high technical added value to the energy field. The seven winners of the first “National Rexel Prize” were thus featured at ExpoRexel and first prize went to two students from the Leiria Polytechnical Institute for a project called “Integrated energy production, transmission and distribution on Bazaruto Island,” located off the Mozambican coast.
