The three main operative partners of twocalls are Enel, Acqua Dolomia and Neonlauro.
The power company Enel is the owner of the Vajont Dam: its fundamental support has allowed to actualize the vision of a call for a line, thus activating the central construction site of twocalls.
It is indeed thanks to the commitment of Acqua Dolomia, that supports DC since 2011, that it was possible to create, inside the contest, the Dolomiti Contemporanee Special Prize. It will consist of two checks, each worth 1.000 Euros, that will be appointed to the two best non-feasible projects, amongst the ones selected by the inner committee and the twocalls jury.
Neonlauro is a company that has its headquarters in the Veneto region, and has been producing neon for many years. This light technology will be the medium utilized in a call for a wall.
