Creating energy that’s sustainable in every sense.
For EIT InnoEnergy, true sustainability also means an industry that’s commercially viable, endlessly innovative, and highly competitive.
We make this possible by helping the adoption of pioneering new technologies, without risk or complexity.
From mobility to construction - from renewable energy sources to smarter storage - our commercially-attractive technologies are the product of a trusted ecosystem for sustainable energy.
We’ve invested EUR 560 million into more than 480 products. Our Innovation Projects alone have forecasted sales amounting to EUR 5.3 billion. In addition, 1 100 alumni have graduated from our Master's and PhD School programmes, many of whom work for prestigious companies such as Tesla, Siemens, Total and Procter & Gamble.
We also bring together 500+ key players from across the energy value chain, from 18 different countries, who have indirect access to 150 million energy consumers.
The result is the proven, landmark innovation you need to reduce energy costs, increase system performance, decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, create jobs, and increase competitiveness.
To build a sustainable long-lasting operational framework among the three actors of the knowledge triangle in the energy sector: industry, research and higher education, and ensure that this integration of the three is more efficient and has a higher impact on innovation (talent, technology, companies) than the three standing alone.
To become the leading engine for innovation and entrepreneurship in sustainable energy.
EIT InnoEnergy is a world class alliance of top European players with a proven track record. Seven regional European Innovation Hubs make up the consortium.:
The challenge is big but our goal is simple: to achieve a sustainable energy future for Europe
EIT InnoEnergy‘s mission is to build a sustainable, long-lasting operational framework among the three actors of the knowledge triangle in the energy sector: industry, research and higher education, and ensure that the integration of the three is more efficient and has a higher impact on innovation (talent, technology, companies) than the three standing alone. Its objective is to become the leading engine for innovation and entrepreneurship in sustainable energy.
EIT InnoEnergy comprises around 430 partners who are top European players in industry, research institutes, universities and business schools. EIT InnoEnergy is about securing Europe’s global competitiveness in the field of energy technologies. Close networking of all partners speeds up commercialisation and generates new energy products.
EIT InnoEnergy SE is run like a business through a flexible and effective organisational structure and with a sound and monitored business plan, focused on results. About one quarter of EIT InnoEnergy's budget will be funded from other sources with substantial contribution from the EIT InnoEnergy partners. The EIT will finance EIT InnoEnergy in a first phase with about EUR 30 million annually.
