- Open Innovation Projects

We collaborate in open innovation projects with startups, corporations and other institutions.

Open innovation is synonymous with collaboration; because there will always be more ideas outside than inside any organisation; because innovation happens when you are able to create a framework where different actors are able to cooperate.

Enagás Emprende works continuously to create projects in collaboration with Technology Centres, Universities, suppliers, customers and Public Institutions to share the technical and economic risks and maximise the contribution of project results to society and the collaborating entities.
