Sustainable Energy

At the centre of Europe’s decarbonisation efforts is the challenge of how to power society. Transport, housing, and industry all require sustainable energy sources. Renewable energy now offers a cheaper, more efficient and life-changing alternative.

InnoEnergy, formerly EIT InnoEnergy, is a key European organisation industrialising cleantech innovation to enable and grow a global net-zero economy. Established in 2010 as one of the EIT’s first Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs), InnoEnergy plays a leading role across the renewable energy lifecycle – from photovoltaic solar panels to next-generation batteries.

Joining InnoEnergy means becoming part of an international alliance committed to prioritising clean energy. This network provides access to the resources required to accelerate the energy transition. In collaboration with its leading partners, InnoEnergy contributes to positioning Europe as a global leader in decarbonisation.

InnoEnergy can help you through:

• Entrepreneurial education – earn a Master’s degree or join a skills-building programme in clean energy and energy system design, while developing the skills and business knowledge needed to test innovative solutions.
• Innovation-driven research – test and refine breakthrough clean energy ideas and commercialise research results.
• Business creation and acceleration – secure resources to establish new companies in Europe and build long-term networks across the clean energy sector. Connect with experts and investors who offer mentoring, support and investment.

According to the EIT model, EIT KICs are expected to generate their own revenue and become financially sustainable in 15 years. In 2024, following the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation with the EIT, InnoEnergy entered a new phase as a financially sustainable member of the EIT Community, continuing to align with the EIT model while operating with greater autonomy.
