Abstract
We want to become the leading energy innovation ecosystem with the ability to connect talented people, ideas, expertise, technologies and resources to create the energy of the future. We want to help guide the transformation of the energy sector to make it smarter, more efficient and more reliable, developing new products and services for our clients in the process.
This is why we want to hear from you!
We want to work with the best startups worldwide, offering our expertise, opening the doors of our laboratories and guaranteeing the resources required to develop better solutions in a fast way.
Our Innovation Hub is the point of contact between Enel and the ecosystem, able to connect the brightest minds to the opportunities of a Group present in 32 countries and with 73 million customers around the world.
Description
We aim at finding innovative and scalable technological solutions with the potential to bring radical change to the energy sector and we want to do this with the best startups.
Through our Innovation Hub you have the possibility to learn more on Enel technological challenges and on how we can help your company to scale up.
We currently have a particular interest in:
Innovative Materials for Wind Blades and Solar Panels Structures
The materials should provide a higher or at least the same level of performances of the those currently used and have to be highly recyclable and sustainable.
We are currently not interested in new materials for components of solar panels but just for the mounting structures.
All the solutions should have an application to utility scale plants.
Sustainable Technologies for Wind Blades Disposal and Recycling
