Innovating for sustainability
To accelerate a sustainable energy future, the world needs innovation. But not just any kind: the kind driven by openness and collaboration. At Enel, we collaborate with startups, research centers, universities and our customers to create climate solutions.
Open Innovation
Partnering with innovative thinkers and doers
Innovation can come from anywhere. At Enel, we are constantly seeking outside our offices for ideas, inspiration and know-how. Through our Open Innovability® platform and our network of Innovation Hubs around North America and the world, we’re creating an ecosystem that allows everyone to contribute: college students, cleantech startups, global industrial partners and research centers.
We embrace the vision that by fostering an environment where innovators from different backgrounds can dare to be different and work together to turn ideas into solutions, we can truly accelerate a sustainable energy future.
Open Innovability®
Our Open Innovability® philosophy combines all the key ingredients for tackling global challenges: open power + open innovation + sustainability. This openness means that we want to work with anyone who has bright ideas and wants to solve the climate crisis. Join our Open Innovability® crowdsourcing platform and bring your solutions to life.

Innovability®
Innovation is the tool, sustainability the aim
For Enel, innovation and sustainability are both fundamental and interdependent. Only continuous innovation can bring forward sustainable development – and for us, innovation is meaningless if it doesn’t lead to sustainability.
When innovation and sustainability are merged, they can lead to unique climate solutions. Find out more about how the Enel companies embrace Innovability®.
