The FINANCIAL -- Nestlé Health Science has announced the signing of a four-year partnership, as an official supplier, with Solar Impulse.

Nestlé Health Science will provide science-based personalised nutrition for the Solar Impulse pilots during their round-the-world flight. This will be done in collaboration with the Nestlé Research Centre in Lausanne whose scientists will assess the pilots’ individual nutritional needs and develop personalised dietary plans. The partnership will also take into consideration the specific environmental and living conditions in the cockpit.

In 2010, for the first time in history, Solar Impulse succeeded in flying day and night without fuel and demonstrated the huge potential of new technologies for saving energy and renewable forms of energy. In 2014, it aims to fly around the world only powered by solar energy.
