Human Knowledge Blended

Joule: Eni school of entrepreneurship

One mission, two growth paths

Joule is a unique training and entrepreneurship course that builds on the value of the individual to nurture a new generation of entrepreneurs, and promote a new idea of business based on sustainability, the fight against climate change and decarbonization across all sectors, not only Energy.

Its mission is to support the growth of sustainable enterprises through two tracks, Human Knowledge (Open and Lab) and Energizer, dedicated to training and the acceleration of startups respectively.

HK's objective is to support entrepreneurial growth through HK Open, a free, innovative, educational development experience that is open to everyone, and HK Lab, the Idea Validation programme  dedicated to teams of aspiring entrepreneurs who want to validate their projects.

Finally, Energizer is the ecosystem accelerator that supports startups with a significant impact on environmental and social sustainability through incubation, acceleration and/or experimentation programmes with Eni and its network.

Energizer: the energy transition accelerator

Energizer is the startup accelerator that supports the transformation from idea to business, through cooperation and co-innovation. It is the first programme dedicated to decarbonization, combating climate change and the circular economy. Energizer promotes and nurtures partnerships and collaborations with spin-offs and accelerators across the country, with a focus on the places where Eni has an existing business presence.

New companies have already sprung up in different Italian regions and cooperate in different ways: Incubation, Techboost and Co-innovation. Each startup that enters the Energizer programme undergoes a circularity and carbon impact assessment to identify relevant areas for impact monitoring and improvement.
