Open Innovation, working together for faster results

We transform ideas into projects and technologies to accelerate the transition towards a zero-emission future.

Working together in order to grow

In order to achieve net-zero products and services, we rely on the expertise of our people, a wide range of technologies and the knowledge we have acquired in lots of engineering and scientific sectors. At the same time, we listen to the outside world in order to identify the most cutting-edge solutions in other contexts, forging partnerships with universities, research centres and tech companies, and with small but dynamic organisations like startups.

 

The key is cross-pollination, where in-house skills and experience can be strengthened by the innovative input of outsiders. Collaboration is therefore essential. 

That is why, today, by adopting various Open Innovation models, we foster dialogue with different stakeholders thanks to an international ecosystem that manages and integrates ideas and solutions from all over the world.

 

As a result of this integrated approach, we were named one of the 100 TOP Corporate Startup Stars and one of 50 companies worldwide to receive the Open Innovation Challengers award, sponsored by the ICC (International Chamber of Commerce) and Mind the Bridge.
