A new alliance for road and environmental safety presented at the Italian Embassy in Lisbon

Lisbon, October 20, 2025 – The Italian Embassy in Lisbon hosted an event dedicated to presenting the partnership between Safety21, an Italian company leading in technological services for road safety, and Eurosistra, a key player in Portugal in road safety restoration and environmental protection following accidents.

The event, held in a space devoted to institutional dialogue and international cooperation, represented an important opportunity for discussion on innovation serving road safety and environmental sustainability, marking the beginning of a strategic collaboration between two complementary organizations strongly focused on technological progress.

This alliance arises in response to an increasingly urgent European challenge: reducing road accidents, in line with the European Union’s Vision Zero Directive, which aims to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries by 2050, with an intermediate target of halving them by 2030.

In Portugal, the issue is particularly significant: in 2023 there were 60.8 deaths per million inhabitants, a figure higher than the EU average (45.6). In 2024 alone, over 134,000 accidents, including 36,789 with victims, highlighted the need for targeted prevention, monitoring, and risk management measures.

Through this partnership, Safety21 brings its 15 years of experience and its AI-based digital solutions, capable of analyzing traffic data in real time, identifying risk areas, and acting predictively to prevent accidents.

Founded in 2012 and operating in over 100 Portuguese municipalities, Eurosistra – Segurança e Ambiente contributes with solid expertise in the rapid and sustainable restoration of road safety conditions, reducing environmental impact and supporting local authorities and public bodies in protecting citizens.

“This collaboration represents a concrete step towards achieving Vision Zero also in Portugal,” said Paolo Tommasini, Country Manager Spain & Portugal at Safety21. “It demonstrates how digital innovation and artificial intelligence can become key tools in preventing accidents and protecting people and the environment.”

“Reducing road accidents to save lives,” stated Giovanni Deleo, President and Founder of Eurosistra Portugal – Segurança e Ambiente, “also requires concrete preventive actions and effective post-accident safety restoration, in full compliance with regulations and environmental preservation.”

During the evening, guests had the opportunity to discover, in exclusive preview, some technological solutions later presented at Segurex 2025, the safety trade fair held from October 21 to 23 at the FIL – Lisbon International Fair.

The event concluded with a shared awareness that only through technology, cooperation, and environmental responsibility will it be possible to build a more efficient, resilient, and sustainable safety model for the cities of the future.
