5 May 2026 — Vander Tumiatti, diagnostics, circular economy, energy transition
From 26 to 30 April 2026, Lyon hosted GeoFuture Lyon 2026 — Congrès international des partenariats scientifiques et de l’investissement durable: five days structured around four thematic pillars — Geomatics, Earth Sciences, Space, Energy — with scientific, institutional and economic delegations from Europe, Africa and the Middle East, under the patronage of the Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
Among the voices at the opening ceremony on 27 April, at the Hôtel de Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and at the closing workshop on 30 April dedicated to the Europe–Africa–Middle East partnership, was that of Vander Tumiatti, Founder of SEA Marconi, invited by the organisers to share his perspective on the energy transition and sustainable investments.
The Global Leadership in Energy Innovation & Sustainability Award
During the congress, the Union Euro-Arabe de Géomatique (UEAG) presented Vander Tumiatti with the Global Leadership in Energy Innovation & Sustainability Award, an international recognition for his commitment to energy innovation and sustainability. The award is linked to Tumiatti’s entrepreneurial and scientific journey: since 1968, the year SEA Marconi was founded, he has contributed to the development of independent methodologies for the diagnosis and treatment of electrical transformers and insulating fluids, taking the company into more than 100 countries worldwide.
“The Power of Knowledge and the Energy of Transformation”
In the opening scientific session, chaired by Prof. Mohamed Naceur Chamem, Tumiatti shared an industrial experience spanning 58 years, rooted in SEA Marconi’s signature medical metaphor: the transformer as a living organism, managed through independent protocols of Diagnosis, Prognosis and Treatment.
His presentation covered the database built over nearly six decades — more than 89,000 transformers recorded across 80 countries and 1.23 million tests performed — and the technological and European research developments that carry his vision forward today: the patented multi-treatment unit i³ Apollo Fluid Care (2026), with potential applications in data centres and aerospace, and the BIOTRAFO and RETROTRAFO projects (Horizon Europe, 28 partners from 17 countries) dedicated to biodegradable fluids and retrofilling.
“Today’s Commitment for Future Generations”: with these closing words, Tumiatti summarised the vision that continues to guide his work — the same one that, in Lyon in 2026, received international recognition.
