Qualification Process for New Innovative Firms

Enel pays a great deal of attention to New Innovative Firms.

These are companies with distinctive organizational and economic characteristics that represent a business model deemed innovative. We have developed a specific qualification process for them.

The commitment of Enel to an Open Innovation philosophy means that it is very interested in Start-Ups: in our eyes, their modern approach to doing business and solutions to invest in make them a vital source of energy to drive innovation.

Innovation is a key element in our strategy and business culture. Being open to cutting-edge models, methods and technologies in order to compete in the market and deliver excellent service to our customers is a key aspect of our Mission.

In this context, startups are the key players of the future, the ideal partners to best interpret our market, tackle it with agile and dynamic tools, and enhance it with ideas that have real development potential.

To maintain this competitive advantage, Enel has developed a dedicated qualification process for New Innovative Firms, companies with an annual turnover of up to €50 million or a maximum asset value of €43 million, and up to 250 employees, that present an innovative business model as assessed by an internal evaluation committee.
The process is based on an online Health-Safety-Environment light assessment and the  verification of legal and integrity documents.

Thanks to the synergy between Innovability and Procurement and the new way of collaborating with suppliers, Enel is transforming all innovation into sustainable development and industrial growth projects.

In order to put your ideas and projects forward, we recommend that you access the Open Innovability platform.
