MILAN, ITALY / ACCESSWIRE / April 24, 2024 / The Italian group CESI has secured a contract, with options valued at over one hundred million euros over five years, with one of the world's leading companies in the production of space systems. According to the agreement, CESI is tasked with providing hundreds of thousands of solar cells over these five years, enough to equip eight satellites per month.

This is a strategically significant investment that places CESI and Italy at the forefront of the Space Economy.
"The recent contract signed is not just a sign of our technological competence but also of our ability to be an integral part of ambitious projects. Space technologies will increasingly support terrestrial applications, thus contributing to the improvement of life on our planet. This implies profound expertise for their development in the years to come. CESI is ready for this challenge," says the CEO of the Group, Domenico Villani.
Within this context, CESI has leveraged proprietary technologies to design, produce, and test solar cells in its Milan laboratories. These cells now power over a hundred civilian satellites for clients across twenty-five countries worldwide. CESI's solar cells are made from materials like gallium arsenide and indium gallium phosphide, exceptionally suited to the harsh conditions of space, where common terrestrial silicon solar cells would not adequately withstand.
The Italian multinational has developed several groundbreaking technologies, including flexible cells that can conform to the surfaces of satellites or spacecraft, and the Integral Assembly. This innovation focuses on optimizing the cell assembly process, eliminating the need for protective glass and thereby reducing the weight and launch costs of satellites. CESI's cells are qualified for both low Earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites.
Finally, the company stands as one of only four global manufacturers of these products and the sole proprietor with complete European control.
Space solar cells convert solar energy into electricity in harsh environmental conditions, providing power to satellites. They are light, compact, and highly efficient, crucial features for minimizing launch costs and maximizing satellite payload capacity. Moreover, they withstand extreme temperatures and radiation, ensuring stable and continuous power supply. In short, they are an essential element for the functioning of satellites in orbit, devices for which a significant production increase is expected, given their use on various fronts beyond the traditional telecommunications.
CESI For nearly seventy years, CESI has been offering its clients, spread across more than 70 countries, a range of services in innovation, digitalization, testing, engineering, and consultancy for the electrical sector as well as in civil and environmental engineering. CESI is among the few companies globally that develop and produce advanced solar cells for space applications.

Review of 31 Studies Finds Vegan Dog Food and Vegan Cat Food Are Well Digested30.7.2026 21:00:00 CEST | Press release
LONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire / July 30, 2026 / A new scientific review has found that nutritionally sound vegan dog food, vegan cat food and vegetarian pet diets are generally well digested and broadly comparable to conventional meat-based diets. The review, published in the journal Animals, examined 31 existing studies assessing the digestibility of vegan, vegetarian and plant-based pet diets and ingredients in dogs and cats. Twenty-two studies focused on dogs, two on cats and seven included both species. The review found that across a wide range of study designs, dietary ingredients and digestibility measures, vegan and vegetarian diets consistently showed high digestibility and were not normally significantly less digestible than conventional meat-based diets. Digestibility is an important factor because it indicates how effectively animals can absorb and utilise nutrients from food. While modern commercial plant-based pet foods are generally formulated to provide all essential nutr

New GTDC Research Illuminates Distribution's Expanding Role in Modern Technology Ecosystems29.7.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
TAMPA, FL / ACCESS Newswire / July 29, 2026 / The Global Technology Distribution Council (GTDC), the world's largest consortium of technology distributors, today released a new research report, The Evolving Role of Distribution in Technology Go-To-Market Models, developed in partnership with Channelnomics. The study examines the shift in distribution from a traditional channel intermediary into a strategic operating platform that helps vendors and partners scale, increase support and overcome the complexities associated with innovation (i.e., AI and cybersecurity) and integration. According to the research, customer expectations are rising rapidly as organizations seek integrated outcomes across AI, cybersecurity, hybrid cloud, automation, analytics and managed services. Vendors and partners increasingly struggle to meet those market demands independently with solutions requiring cross-platform integration, multi-vendor coordination, lifecycle support and operational consistency.
