A partnership comprising Exel Composites Oyj (Finland), Vaisala Oyj (Finland) and Teleste have received a JEC Innovation Award nomination for their Smart LED lighting pole with integrated functions at this year's competition in Paris on the 7 March 2018. The solution is aimed at enabling smart city development and is said to offer a longer lifetime compared to steel and wood, aesthetically camouflaged antennas and an easy assembly.

JEC Group (JEC) has shortlisted 30 finalists across 10 categories which illustrate the best of composite innovation worldwide. The winners will be announced at the award ceremony.

Frédérique Mutel, JEC president and CEO, said: “Like every year, we received hundreds of applications for the JEC Innovation Awards, this success truly shows that this program is a recognized tool to spot and promote Innovations in the Composites Industry."

"I am particularly delighted to introduce another brand new feature to this program: the Public vote. Indeed, our jury will choose the winners according to specific criteria such as involvement of partners in the value chain, technicity or again market application, but the general audience will be able to vote for their favourite Innovation, online or through JEC World Mobile Application.”
