Catalyzing and accelerating the energy transition
EIT InnoEnergy brings people and resources together, catalysing and accelerating the energy transition. New ideas, products and solutions that make a real difference, and new businesses and people to deliver them to market. Operating at the centre of the energy transition, we build connections worldwide, bringing together innovators and industry, entrepreneurs and investors, graduates and employers.
How we do it
Our bespoke support to accelerate sustainable energy innovation, knows no borders or boundaries:
- Industry are linked with innovation and alumni, providing commercially attractive technologies spanning the energy value chain, and top talent to enhance innovation.
- Start-ups, scale-ups, and innovators receive tailor-made support to boost and de-risk business cases and speed up time to market.
- Students and learners have access to seven master’s programmesat 18 top technical universities and business schools, as well as online and blended courses.
Our impacts
As a result, in just ten years we have built the largest sustainable energy innovation ecosystem in the world:
- €560 million has been invested into more than 480 sustainable energy innovations, all on track to generate €16 billion in commercial revenues by 2026.
- 90% of our start-ups already work with global brand names including ABB, BMW, EDF, Engie, Tata Steel and Vattenfall.
- Our EIT InnoEnergy Master School has attracted students from almost 100 countries. We now have 1,200 graduates and 1,500 students enrolled.
Decarbonising Europe
We are also spearheading the way to a decarbonised Europe by 2050 through the leadership of three industrial alliances: battery storage, green hydrogen and solar photovoltaics.
These alliances bring together the knowledge and experience required to support large industrial projects, which directly impact the energy trilemma: reducing the cost of energy, limiting greenhouse emissions and increasing availability and security.
Ultimately, these actions play a fundamental role in realising our goal of a carbon neutral Europe by 2050.
Our ecosystem
All this is made possible thanks to our rich network of more than 500 key players from 18 different countries. Together we act as a key vehicle for the European Green Deal and make up the ingredients needed to bring a constant pipeline of sustainable energy innovation to market.
Established in 2010 and supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), we have offices and hubs across Europe and in Boston, US. Find out more in our corporate brochure.
