Giving focusto Engie’s innovation strategy.
Engie, known as GDF Suez prior to April 2015, is a French multinational electric utility company. Engie is a pioneer in nuclear energy in Europe with the development of the first pressurized water reactor built in Belgium. It’s one of the few players in the sector to develop expert skills in both upstream (engineering, purchasing, operation, maintenance) and downstream (waste management, dismantling) activities.
Engie takes on the challenge of the energy transition through its three businesses: electricity, natural gas, and energy services. To do so, Engie reached out to Board of innovation for support and to revamp its overall innovation approach.
