The Background

The Challenge

Bart Verheule

Our Borlink™ technology is a step-change innovation for the cable industry and serves as a platform for Borealis and Borouge to support our partners and customers in accelerating the energy transition—from the North Sea to the Arabian Gulf, and beyond. This unique collaboration with Prysmian on the Al Mirfa–Al Ghallan Island connection is particularly rewarding given its significant contribution to the UAE's broader decarbonization efforts.
