This enables Startups and Axpo to refine products, services, and business strategies and scale innovations faster. 

By fostering innovation in the energy sector, we contribute to developing sustainable solutions that can address the urgent challenges of climate change and reduce carbon emissions. This partnership drives the creation of new jobs, promotes economic growth, and supports the transition to a greener and more sustainable future for future generations.

Ambitious plans

Axpo and Bluelion have ambitious plans to continue driving innovation and sustainability. We will leverage the entrepreneurial spirit of Startups to accelerate our transition to Net-Zero. We will continue to engage in open innovation with Startups, universities, and other partners to co-create and implement innovative solutions. We will mentor, support, and enable our intrapreneurs and organizations to benefit from this partnership. 

Through this partnership, we aim to lead the energy transition, shape the future of sustainable energy, and contribute to a greener and more prosperous world.

In conclusion, this collaboration is a powerful example of how partnerships between established companies and Startups can drive sustainability, foster innovation, and create mutual benefits. We are committed to positively impacting society, accelerating the transition to a Net-Zero future, and shaping a more sustainable world.
