Fortum Innovation projects & news
Fortum believes in constant exploration and cooperation to innovate new business models and technologies. We foster this culture by combining our extensive experience and customer understanding with multidisciplinary innovation teams, and the fresh perspectives of startups. By exploring various solutions related to the energy sector's challenges, Fortum Innovation nurtures an environment where sustainable progress thrives. We innovate around three core areas.
Accelerate the future energy system
We believe the current energy grid and supply will not be sufficient to meet future demands. With the grid structure not sufficiently equipped to handle future challenges in volatility and energy supply, we must take a leading role in shaping and enabling a new, resilient, and sustainable energy system.
Enabling digitalization & intelligent operations
We believe energy will become more than just a utility. With new types of market players and business models, we must position ourselves as a partner in changing consumer behaviors and be part of the solution to drive flexibility, storage, optimization and digitalization.
Driving decarbonization for our customers
We believe more optimal solutions and processes for societies and heavy industries are needed to cut carbon footprint. With our position and substantial societal Nordic role, we can enable a shift to cleaner energy sources. We can be a trusted partner in making systemic change and help create lasting impact.
