The ENGIE approach to innovation: research, entrepreneurship and collaboration
The Group’s vision for meeting the challenges of the coming years consists in discovering, inventing, co-creating and eliminating risks inherent in technologies, thereby giving the Group a long-term competitive edge.
Research and innovation play a major role in ENGIE’s strategy of propelling the Group into the world of tomorrow, which involves driving the emergence of innovative technical and business models through research, entrepreneurship and collaboration:
- with 23 thematic labs, ENGIE Research identifies, develops and trials new technologies, and perfects tools and products that enable the Group to achieve its strategic objectives
- the ENGIE New Ventures investment fund invests in promising start-ups around the world, giving ENGIE access to state-of-the-art solutions: ENGIE New Ventures has already invested in 26 companies worldwide through this €180 million fund
- our “Factories” in Paris, Singapore and Santiago develop new concepts around the world and grow hand-picked companies over a period of three to five years, transforming them into high-performance assets for ENGIE
- our platforms group together more than 26,000 employees and 5,000 start-ups to create a dynamic community of Imaginative Builders, who exchange ideas and aspire to the common goal of creating innovative solutions to drive the energy transition.
