Vattenfall Innovation
About us
At Vattenfall, innovation is a cornerstone of our business strategy. That is why Vattenfall Innovation empowers employees and boosts an entrepreneurial and innovative culture.
Why Vattenfall Innovation?
The energy sector is undergoing its most fundamental transformation in generations. New technologies are needed to move away from fossil fuels and develop large-scale renewable alternatives. Our role as an energy company is shifting, and we need to constantly innovate our business model to stay at the forefront of the energy transition.
Our mission
- Break down silos: We’re tearing down barriers and fostering collaboration across business areas and units, because breakthroughs happen at the intersection of disciplines.
- Empower entrepreneurs: Vattenfall’s future lies in the hands of entrepreneurs – those who dare to dream, disrupt and drive change.
- Fuel ideas: We’re not just about innovation; we’re about actionable ideas. The kind that can revolutionise energy systems and markets.
How we are doing this
We believe in creating an innovative culture that empowers our employees to question the status quo and think differently. We collaborate with external companies and universities to support sustainable innovation and bring fresh perspectives to the table. Vattenfall's goal of fossil freedom drives us to constantly seek out new and innovative ways to reduce our carbon footprint and make a positive impact on the world. Internally, Vattenfall Innovation fosters a culture of learning and growth by working across different business areas and markets, enabling our employees to broaden their horizons and develop new skills.
By bringing everyone together and encouraging inter-departmental collaboration, Vattenfall Innovation plays a role in creating a more innovative and sustainable future for all.
Vattenfall Innovation Challenge
We organise an annual international Vattenfall Innovation competition for all employees. The people in the business are the ones that know the business the best and see ways to improve or innovate. Through the Vattenfall Innovation competition, they can seek inspiration and support to further develop their ideas and really make an impact.
