Innovation

Innovation at Axpo is intertwined throughout the organization. The goal is that every employee has the power to innovate. Employees are our biggest asset in driving forward the energy transformation. Thus, giving them the right tools, knowledge, and methods to innovate is crucial.

We know that we can't do everything by ourselves, so we cooperate with partners such as Universities, Startups, and fast-moving companies. We invite you to become part of our energy ecosystem in this rapidly changing world to accelerate the energy transformation!
