In November 2024, a delegation from Gabon visited the uSky Test & Certification Centre in the UAE. The visit took place at the invitation of Bekaert, one of the global leaders in steel wire and cable technology production. The primary objective of the event was to explore opportunities for implementing modern transport solutions in Gabon while strengthening international cooperation in sustainable development and infrastructure.
uSky Transport specializes in the development of suspended transport systems, offering eco-friendly, cost-effective, and highly efficient solutions for urban and intercity mobility. The uSky Test & Certification Centre in Sharjah has become a prominent venue for showcasing future technologies to public and private stakeholders worldwide.
The delegation from Gabon had the opportunity to learn about advanced uSky Transport & Infrastructure Solutions, including the operation of string transport systems based on suspended rail technologies. The unique uSky Transport & Infrastructure Technology combines sustainability, safety, and cost efficiency, making it particularly appealing to countries with developing infrastructure.
Bekaert, as a strategic partner of uSky Transport, plays a crucial role in the development of such projects. The company supplies high-quality steel wire used in the construction of suspended tracks, ensuring strength and durability in transport systems.
At Bekaert’s invitation, the Gabonese delegation explored how the use of advanced materials and technologies could enhance their nation’s transport infrastructure. During the visit, representatives discussed the potential for adapting uSky Transport & Infrastructure Solutions to Gabon’s conditions, including its challenging terrain and dense vegetation.
Gabon, with its abundant natural resources and ambitious plans for modernizing transport infrastructure, is increasingly interested in innovative technologies. The visit to uSky Transport highlighted that implementing suspended transport could address multiple challenges: improving logistics, reducing carbon emissions, and increasing accessibility for the population.
Delegation members emphasized that uSky Transport & Infrastructure Technology could be particularly beneficial for Gabon’s remote areas, where traditional road construction is often costly and poses environmental risks.
The meeting between representatives from Gabon, uSky Transport, and Bekaert marked a significant step towards fostering international collaboration and exchanging innovative ideas. The outcomes of the visit lay the groundwork for developing joint projects that could help Gabon make significant progress in sustainable transport infrastructure development.
The innovative solutions showcased at uSky Transport offer hope that the future of mobility will be more eco-friendly, safe, and accessible for all.
