Or , our new artificial intelligence tool.
We transform ideas into projects and technologies to accelerate the transition towards a zero-emission future.
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 outsider partners. 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.
At Eni, we nurture ideas, projects, and technologies to identify the best global solutions. We oversee the innovation ecosystem by orchestrating a dynamic external network that includes startups, universities, investors and institutions.
This network fosters idea exchange, strengthens collaboration, and accelerates innovation time-to-market.
Eni’s approach to Open Innovation is implemented through a diverse set of activities coordinated by four dedicated entities:
We identify the best solutions globally by participating in tech world events on topics of interest to us, with an ongoing and evolving activity.
Our activities include:
We identify emerging developments or models in a specific technology area, with the aim of building a clear picture of the subject and forecasting future developments
We assess industry characteristics, competitor performance and key market trends to inform strategic decisions and identify growth opportunities
We identify, evaluate and select emerging companies with innovative ideas or technologies in line with Eni's strategic needs, with the aim of collaborating with them through pilot projects
