Make your innovative ideas a reality!

Innovation Hub, EDF Pulse award, Pulse & You, equity investments in investment funds such as Electranova Capital, etc. EDF's recent innovation initiatives are not new. For more than 10 years, we have been working with startups to explore new avenues and prepare for the future.
 
So what’s different about EDF Pulse Croissance? Gone are the customer-supplier relationships between EDF and startups: now we work together as real partners! The goal is to go beyond the experimental stage, to bring innovative ideas to life by making real businesses. Whether they come from our employees or external startups.
 
We clearly identify the activities to be explored, we launch them, we support them and ensure their development, until their maturity allows them to link to an EDF business. Or even to create one! This approach is a source of transformation and growth for the Group, and always serving our customers.

Our action plan

To take a step ahead, EDF Nouveaux Business has three key areas.

Partnerships

The creation of strategic partnerships with external startups.

Investment

MICHEL VANHAESBROUCKE,
