WALTER TOSTO AND ENERGY SAFETY GROUP SIGN STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT AT BUSINESS FORUM IN PRAGUE
On September 18, during the Italian-Czech Business Forum “Energy for the Future: Innovation for a Sustainable Transition”, held at the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Parliament, the Italian heavy energy equipment manufacturer Walter Tosto S.p.A. and the Czech-Ukrainian group of companies Energy Safety Group officially signed a agreement on strategic partnership in the nuclear industry.
The agreement was signed by Adam Bayer, Director of Business Development at Energy Safety Group, and Luca Tosto, Managing Director of Walter Tosto.
Under the agreement, the partners will jointly implement projects for the construction of new power units, as well as the modernization and safety upgrades of existing nuclear power plants. A key focus will be on localizing supply chains in Central and Eastern Europe.
The partnership will bring together Walter Tosto’s expertise in manufacturing large-scale nuclear equipment with long production cycles and Energy Safety Group’s engineering, EPC services, and regional execution capabilities. This synergy is expected to shorten delivery times for European projects and reduce logistics risks. Special priority will be given to equipment directly impacting nuclear and technical safety, including heat exchangers, process systems, and lifting systems – designed and manufactured in-house by Walter Tosto.
The Italian-Czech Business Forum, “Energy for the Future: Innovation for a Sustainable Transition”, was an important event for Czech-Italian cooperation. It brought together government officials and industry representatives from both countries to foster collaboration across the energy sector – from clean generation to industrial innovation.
The signing of the agreement, with such a broad configuration of participants – from government policymakers and scientists, including ENEA and the Czech Academy of Sciences, to major industrial and financial players such as ČEZ, Elevion Group, ENI, and Intesa Sanpaolo – underscores the focus on accelerating the investment cycle in nuclear projects, strengthening European production capacity, and developing banking instruments to support large-scale energy investments.
